HI There

Again I am confused in this tunneling .. I have following ques :

        R1------Sw----R6
      /
     /
    /
R2
   \
    \
     \ R3

R1,R2,R3 are connected in hub and spoke format in FR setup .
All relevant interfaces are in PIM DENSE mode.

R3 : multicast server
R6 : client .

Can some one let me know why I need to configure a tunnel between R3 and R1 ?

I did some scenarios like this and I have made this as a practice to
configure tunnel if spoke to spoke is required ( my bad ) .. but can
someone please explain this to me .?

Is there a alternate solution to this ?( if tunnel creation is not permitted )

Thnx in advance
Gaurav Madan.
