This table is used to create and manage the master joins that DC-PIM TIB Manager forms to other entities. Each join is represented by a row in this table. The status of each join is represented by a read-only object within each row. For MGMD Snooping or MGMD Proxy (but not in the deprecated mode enabled by pimTmEntMgmdProxy), a GMI join to exactly one MGMD Host entity must be created in this table. For PIM, if MSDP is supported, an MSDI join to exactly one MSDP instance must be created in this table. If pimTmEntMode is not 'mgmd-snooping' or 'mgmd-proxy', DC-PIM ignores any GMI join rows in this table. If 'sparse' is clear for pimTmEntMode, DC-PIM ignores any MSDI join rows in this table.
