[c-nsp] multicast on layer 2

[Tantsura, Jeff]

Hi,

What I actually meant is that sources register (but not in the way receivers
do) on the first-hop router and first-hop router then sends Register to RP.

You're contradicting yourself.  

The *source* does *not* register itself - the first-hop router registers.

So if you have no routers, there is no "source registering" done anywhere.
