James,

One way is to check the incoming interface. If the packet arrived on RPF 
interface towards RP, then it is forwarded to the receivers. If the packet 
arrived on an interface on which the router is the DF for the RP (mapping 
to the mutlicast group), then it is forwarded towards RP.

Hi,

I am trying to understand draft-ietf-pim-bidir-07.txt.

>From what I currently understand, there is a shared tree for passing
packets from the source to the RP, and another shared tree for passing
packets from the RP to the receiver.

When a router receives a packet, how does the router know if it is a
packet destined for the RP or destined for the Receiver?

James
