PIM Dence mode is more for local area network or samll size network, more of broadcast, push. Not recommended for WAN

PIM sparce-mode is recommended for traffic over WAN. OR LAN.

ip pim sparce-dense mode activates both space and dence mode - sparce first and dense, This command is mainly used for Auto-RP, where you can have multiple RPs and selection process to find RP use dense mode, once RP is selected, it uses sparce mode for actual multicast.
