Re: Sparse Mode Multicast on NBMA with main interfaces at Hub

Hi Anant,

autoRP only works with sparse-dense mode. If you're running sparse and
want to do 'automatic' mapping, you have to use bsr. The reason is that
the autoRP feature uses dense mode mcast to propagate.

I actually did a write up explaining this and some other issues with
mcast on ccie.net. . .
