Section 4.10.3 (page 110) of draft-ietf-pim-sm-v2-new-07.txt says:

"For (S,G) null Registers, the Multicast data packet portion
contains only a dummy header with S as the source address, G as the
destination address, and a data length of zero."

Does the IP protocol type of the dummy header need to be UDP? Is this dummy
header
supposed to be just an IP header, or does it include a transport layer header
too?
How do Cisco and Juniper behave in this regard?

Thanks!
