Hi,
I have a question on what should be expected behavior for
PIM/IGMP.

I have a source which sits behind two switches that are running vrrp.

Switch A IP: 10.1.1.9
Switch B IP: 10.1.1.10
Virtual IP: 10.1.1.11.

I also have some users that are directly connected to Switch A, and Switch
B. For some odd reason all users that are connected to Switch A can
receive the stream.
Everyone connected to Switch B cannot. The funny thing is that if I
single home the same source onto switch A it works fine. If I single home
the src to Switch B it works fine. The only time it has issues is if they
are in this VRRP configuration.

Question:
Because Switch A is the IGMP designated router, does that mean Switch B
should stop responding to any requests for that Group? even though its
directly connected to that group?

Or is this another Bug? Both switches are Nortel 8600's.

Thanks
Anand
