Line 42: * Whether they arrive encapsulated or natively, the RP forwards the source's de-capsulated data packets down the RP-centered distribution tree toward group members. * If the data rate warrants it, routers with local receivers can join a source-specific, shortest path, distribution tree, and prune this source's packets off the shared RP-centered tree. * Where a router's local receivers are only interested in packets from a specific source within a multicast group, the router may skip joining the RP centered shared tree and jump straight to joining the source-specific shortest path tree. * For low data rate sources, neither the RP, nor last-hop routers need join a source-specific shortest path tree and data packets can be delivered via the shared RP-tree.
