        This would not be the case since R6 has the (S,G) entry already
installed. Looking just at the mrouting table of R6 my first guess
would be that R6 isn't registering with the RP for that group. Also
BB1's multicast configuration doesn't matter because it is a multicast
source in this case, not a multicast router. Look at the "show ip pim
rp mapping" output on all the pim routers. Do they know that R2 is the
RP? Is the RPF check successful for traffic coming from and going to
the RP? Do the rest of the multicast routers have a unicast route back
to BB1? Paste the "show ip route" "show ip mroute" "show ip rp mapping"
for all routers participating in multicast routing.
