Hi Gurus,
 
I was wondering about the Source First hop router sending Register Messages to the RP. For this it encapsulates the data packet and sends it to the RP. 
 
My question was regarding the RP not having heard about any receivers for the group yet? What is the expected behaviour? 
Should it ignore the request and the source keeps sending Registers or is it expected to maintain an internal state and send a Register STOP. Only upon hearing about a receiver for the group, it may send a Join towards the Source?
 
Cheers
