Hi

Design wise R2 should be hosting the 2 groups and you
will find all things pingable

However with r1 hosting the 2 groups, r2 will prune
back the multicast route to r3. This is normal
behavior for Sparse mode as to decrease multicast
traffic. If you were to add some clients off r3, then
r2 will go from prune to active (join) and r3 should
be able to ping r1
