One reason for leaning toward bidir pim would be when a task wants
you to minimize the impact on router's resources when MANY multicast
sources for a group are present in the network. Bidir resolves this by
maintaining a single *,G entry for all sources.
Another hint could be that a taks asks for the first-hop router
connecting the sources to not send register messages but flood the
traffic directly to the rp.
