Answer» Source Tree: Used in both PIM SPARSE Mode and Dense Mode. Uses Source as the Root of the Multicast Tree and Receivers are ACTING like branches. It is also known as Shortest Path Tree because it uses the shortest path between source and receiver. Every Router in Source Tree will add (S,G) ENTRIES in multicast ROUTING table. Where S = Source or Sender IP address ( Unicast) (192.1.1.1) G = DESTINATION IP address ( Multicast IP address) (224.5.5.5) Source Tree: Where S = Source or Sender IP address ( Unicast) (192.1.1.1) G = Destination IP address ( Multicast IP address) (224.5.5.5)

Source Tree:

Used in both PIM SPARSE Mode and Dense Mode.
Uses Source as the Root of the Multicast Tree and Receivers are ACTING like branches.
It is also known as Shortest Path Tree because it uses the shortest path between source and receiver.
Every Router in Source Tree will add (S,G) ENTRIES in multicast ROUTING table.

Where S = Source or Sender IP address ( Unicast) (192.1.1.1)

G = DESTINATION IP address ( Multicast IP address) (224.5.5.5)

Source Tree:

Where S = Source or Sender IP address ( Unicast) (192.1.1.1)

G = Destination IP address ( Multicast IP address) (224.5.5.5)
