Ooops! I may also have misunderstood the original Q - there is also an
inherent direction in PIM-SM. May use bidir keyword in some cases...
depends on topology. Try "bidir" option and see if "all" stations reply...

I think it has something to do with pruning.

Keith T. Hall has said....

** BEFORE YOU ASK 'WHY THE NUMBER OF PING RESPONSES?' CHECK OUT PRUNING...!

Yes,

It all works fine, the mroute looks fine, I can join the group from any
router and see it
at my RP. What I do not get is why when I ping I get so many answers. When
I ping from the RP -
I get only four answers as expected - 2 from each of routers r1 and r2,
since both have two interfaces joined into
the group. But when I ping from a spoke - I get varying numbers of replies.
