Hi Everybody,

Our Question is Regarding the Assert Continuation when the Assert Loser goes
down in the network.
Let  scenario is described below.

A-------------------|
                            |
                            |---------------------C
B-------------------|

Let A, B and C be three routers on a shared LAN.
A and B are upstream routers and C is the downstream router with respect to any
given RP.
Now the Assert contention starts between A and B.
Lets assume A won the contention and is the Assert Winner (*,G)
and B is Assert Loser (*,G).

Now due certain conditions(Like Topology Change) Router B  CouldAssert(*,G,I)
becomes false for Router B--I is the LAN interface for
router B.

Under these conditions A continuous to send the Assert(*,G) messages on the LAN
although there is no contention to warrant the same???
