Re: sparse-mode without configuring RP !!

Gianpietro,

Auto-rp uses DM. However if all the multicast routers are directly
connected to the mapping agent. It WILL work. Make sure the mapping agent
is the hub router. The RP can be located somewhere else.

Multicast packets on a local subnet always find the destionation as long
as no routing is involved.

regards,

A: Seemed logical -- I didn't have any real intelligence.
