Sender 1 sends multicast data to its Designated Router (DR). The source DR then
unicast-encapsulates
the
data into PIM-SM Register messages and sends them on to the RP.
Once the distribution tree for group G is learned at the RP, the encapsulated data being sent from the
source DR are now unencapsulated at the RP and forwarded natively to the Receiver.
