Hi

In PIM dense mode, the only purpose of Joins is to override the prunes sent
by a peer router to an upstream router. If so, the joins are to be processed
only in the interval during which the upstream router waits for the joins.

If joins are received at some time after this interval, can they be
processed
to cancel the prune earlier received for that (S,G)?
i.e.. Shud the joins be treated as grafts at other times?

I guess not!
Am I right?
