Sami,

The 224.0.1.39 group is used by the RP candidate to announce its candidacy to
the mapping agent. Only the mapping agent is a member of this group. The
router you show below is not a member, is not "listening". Note there is no C
or L flag on the *.G entry. This router is simply reflecting state for the
active stream.

HTH,

  Group,

  I have following group mapping in multicast routing table.

  150.1.5.5 , 224.0.1.39 ----> upstream neighbour address
  150.1.8.8 , 224.0.1.40 -----> Auto-rp agent

  I understand autorp agent is sending multicast discovery for rp-group
  mapping on 224.0.1.10 address but what about 224.0.1.39 ??
   I see on all the router each neigbour is listning on 224.0.1.39 from
  upstram router.

  What I understand 224.0.1.40 is used for listning group to rp mapping from
  auto-rp but what about 224.0.1.39 ?

  Thanks,

  R1# sho ip mro
