BIDIR-PIM is the correct multicast mode for a video conferencing environment with numerous dispersed senders and receivers. Bidirectional PIM is designed for many-to-many multicast applications where receivers may also transmit and where maintaining per-source trees would create unnecessary state and control-plane overhead. Instead of building a shortest-path tree for every source, BIDIR-PIM uses a shared tree rooted at the rendezvous point and forwards traffic bidirectionally. This makes it attractive for collaborative applications and conferencing scenarios with many active participants. MP-BGP can carry multicast VPN or multicast routing information in service-provider designs, but it is not itself the multicast forwarding mode for this requirement. MSDP is used to exchange source information between PIM-SM domains, not to optimize many-to-many forwarding within the multicast design. IGMPv2 handles host membership signaling on local segments and does not provide the routed multicast mode.
