Am I Dense ?

Hey all, trying to get my arms around Multicast. I set up a little topology
to go over the different parts of PIM. Here's the setup (steps below)

r7====two ethernets=====r8------FR----R2---224.1.1.1
   192.168.78.0 & 87.0

PIM Dense is up and running and I have "ip igmp join-group 224.1.1.1" on the
ethernet interface of r2. On r7, (step 1) I issued the "sho ip mroute"
and would have expected that I would have atleast seen a unused (*, G) entry
which I think is used as a placeholder (can anyone comment) When I did a
ping (step 2), I'm guessing that r7 sent out a join for the 224.1.1.1
group and then adds a state entry when it's up (step 3) Does active data
trigger the timer to reset to 3, or would the r7 router generate join's
every 1 minute if it had a client that wanted the stream that was directly
connected?

After a couple of minutes (i'm guessing 3) the (S,G) 's are purged out, and
it looks like the (*,G)'s timer has started now that there is now (S,G) with
active outgoing interfaces. But then in step 5, it looks like the (*,G)
times out too as it no longer exists in the mroute table.

If anyone can comment on this, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks.

Tim

After the ping, the mroute table is populated....

After a couple of minutes

4)
r7#sh ip mroute

 
(*, 224.0.1.40), 00:40:23/00:00:00, RP 0.0.0.0, flags: DJCL
  Incoming interface: Null, RPF nbr 0.0.0.0

    Ethernet3, Forward/Dense, 00:05:54/00:00:00
    Ethernet2, Forward/Dense, 00:05:54/00:00:00
 
And after 5 more seconds, It goes away....
