        But unfortunately, as with all of these <foo>-limit solutions,
        it will lead to black holing of some legitimate traffic
        if that traffic happens to be bound to an unlucky (S,G)
        during one of these events...we need more protocol
        mechanism to deal with this, IMHO.
