As a side note, the "ip pim nbma" mode command will change multicast
behaviour so that outgoing packets are not destined to Multicast MAC but
Unicast MAC of the destination interface.
I.e. From R1 to R2 the destination MAC of a packet will be that of R2's
interface.
P.S.: MAC in Ethernet design ofcourse, where NBMA mode can be usefull in
QinQ situations.

Pavlo
