By default, only the routers which caches SA messages can repond to SA request
messages. Routers receive all SA request messsages from its MSDP peers.
Multicast group addresses are described in ACL. If no ACL is specified, all SA request
messages sent by the corresponding MSDP peer will be ignored. If an ACL is specified,
only SA request messages of the groups permitted by the ACL will be processed.
30.2.9 Controlling the Source Information Forwarded
Controlling of source information also includes that of forwarding and receiving source
information besides that of creating source information. The outbound filter or time to
live (TTL) threshold of SA messages can be used to control the SA message forwarding.
By default, all SA messages are forwarded to other MSDP peers.
