Actual exam question for HP's HPE6-A73 exam

Question #: 70
Topic #: 1

How does PIM build the IP multicast routing table to route traffic between a multicast source and one or more receivers?

AIt uses the unicast routing table and reverse path forwarding (RPF)

BIt uses IGMP and calculates a shortest path tree (SPT)

CIt uses the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm derived from link state protocols

DIt uses the Bellman-Ford algorithm derived from distance vector protocols

Option A, because who needs IGMP when you can just reverse-engineer the unicast table? It's the lazy man's approach to multicast routing.

D with the Bellman-Ford algorithm? That's a blast from the past! I wonder if anyone still uses that these days.

Hmm, C using the SPF algorithm? Sounds like some fancy routing magic, but I'm not sure if that's the right answer here.

B looks good to me. IGMP and SPT is what I've learned in my studies. Can't go wrong with that.
