I was wondering that... I'll do some testing tomorrow.
The thing is that "unarmed eyes" may think that the router itself who
is generating the messages is the DR for the RP segment too.
Thank you. If anybody can confirm this...

Gustavo,
Interesting question. I do not see the specific answer in Williamson or
in the PIM-SM RFC 2362. By experiment: I am seeing the outgoing
interface as the source ip in the register packet (the interface closest
to the RP), not the ip address connected to the multicast server.

Subject: Register message source Ip address?
Hi guys,
I have one doubt concerning PIM sparse mode and source
registering
process.
Imagine that we have two routers (7600) in order to provide
redundancy
in all the segments that they are connected.
We have a multicast source on vlan 20 and a third router acting
as RP on
vlan 899. The DR router for vlan 20 will be responsible for
generating
the register messages towards the RP while the RP itself does
not join a
SPT to the source.
What will be the IP address on the Register messages sent by the
DR of
vlan 20? Will it be the nearest IP to the RP (i.e. vlan 899 IP)
or the
IP of the interface nearest to the source (to which the router
is
actually the DR)?
I have no lab to try this out at the moment...
Any thoughts?
TIA
Gustavo Novais
