and the more I read the more confused I get. I have the feeling that some of
the authors are confused themselves too. The Cisco on-line documentation is
also unclear. Once it says that by configuring BSR we absolutely prevent
falling back to dense mode another time they state just the opposite. The no
ip pim dm-fallback command only prevents interfaces configured as pim
sparse-dense mode from becoming dense interfaces if RP configuration is lost.>
