Hi GS,

testing PIM SSM by means of DYNAMIPS and trying
to verify the "best config" for PIM SSM

R4 ----- PIM SM ----- R1 ----- PIM SM ----- R2

all routers with PIM SM & PIM SSM DEF

R2 has Loopbacks with IP IGMP v3 & JOING-GROUPs 232.x.x.x

==>> It was not possible to ping w/o PIM activation on Loopbacks
 
   Who could confirm this behavior based on REAL gears ?

Moreover, for usual IGMPv2 groups on R2 (with AutoRP listener)
it was possible to ping loopback-groups (239.y.y.y) from R1 only.
From R4 solid pings are possible only to the groups on a Loopback
with active PIM SM!

   Is that a "hop" problem ?

Thanks
