Subject: [pim] (S,G,rpt)downstream state machine

hi,
I have a doubt in "receiving (S,G, rpt) J/P message" case.

In the Notes of section 4.4.4, the draft says "Receiving
a Prune(*,G) does not affect the (S,G,rpt) downstream
state machine."

I dont understand this. We will have (S,G,rpt) state only
when we got (*,G) and (S,G) states. With (*,G) prune if
the interface is removed from RP tree, what is the
meaning in maintaining (S,G,rpt) state on that interface.

Can please someone clarify my doubt.

Thanks in advance.

regards,
Katta
