sparse-dense mode clarification

Hi All,

       I was looking for a clarification on the "catch-22" rule
with Auto RP
that sparse-dense mode solves. I know sparse-dense mode will use
DM to find
the RP and use SM for everything else once the RP is known. But
how is that
any different (in the general concept of things) when SM uses the
RP-Announce
message sent to the Mapping Agent and the Mapping Agent uses the
RP-Discovery
message to inform all the routers of the groups that the RP has?
Is it more
in the configuration between the two? Not exactly sure what I am
missing and
I have looked in various places for an easier explanation of it
and why it
would be more beneficial to use sparse-dense mode over
sparse-mode. Also, is
it more standard in the real world to use the
sparse-dense mode application
over the sparse-mode? Any help would be
appreciated. Thanks in advance!
