Re: To all Multicast guru...

Hunt,

I don't think I am a multicast guru but i am going to
try:

In other to need a RP a router needs to be or a group
member, be in the path of the share tree with a leaf
being connect or in the path through it, or be in the
path of the source of a group. ( That is what I
remember ).

I think thatyour yor case the show command says the
share tree is RTB - RTD/RTE. Could you check the
membership through RTA ? The mroute says that there is
a source but it is being pruned. Looks like RTA
doesn't know there is another member in the network.
Could you post the mroute of RTD and E?
