Hello,

Referring to this doc:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/solutions_docs/ip_multicast/White_papers/frm_rlay.html

It says that:

"All candidate RPs must be connected to the MA.
All MAs must be connected to all PIM routers."

Why is the necessary? Isn't this why we have the scope argument on the
send-rp-announce and send-rp-discovery commands?

Suppose you have a spoke configured as an RP-candidate or MA, are there
workarounds to make it work?

Thanks,
