what if the shared tree and source tree are congruent?

        Just gave the scenario a quick glance, and you need the ip pim
        spt-threshold command on the last-hop router....in this case R2.

        The switch from shared to source tree (with Sparse Mode) happens
upon
        the arrival of the first data packet at the last hop router.
This switch
        occurs because the ip pim spt-threshold interface configuration
command
        controls that timing, and its default setting is 0 kbps.
