You might want to look at draft-ietf-idmr-msnip-00.{txt,ps}. It
describes an generic algorithm for hosts to learn of external interest
(specifically for SSM). The advantage of not using PIM-SM directly is
that the underlying routing protocol can change but the host<>router
protocol stays the same (just like IGMP).
