Ozgur,

I've tried BSR and it works in sparse-mode-only. But BSR messages do not
use 224.0.1.40 and 39 like auto-rp. It should be using 224.0.0.13. My
question is if no dense mode is configured, how can this multicast group get
flooded and mrouteed to all routers ??

BTW, from DocCD, it said :
Sparse mode and dense mode are properties of a group, as opposed to an
interface.

How can we make a group to act as dense or sparse mode ? It seems the
configuration only exists on a per-interface basis.

thanks
alec

bsr like auto-rp is to distribute rp info, so it is for sparse-mode.
multicast traffic for groups 224.0.1.40 and 224.0.1.39 are flooded in dense
mode
so again no default rp config needed, like in sparse-dense mode.

Does BSR work in sparse-mode-only ? Do the BSR messages (224.0.0.13) get
flooded to all C-RP by dense-mode, which is similar to Auto-rp ?
