[c-nsp] MSDP and my limited knowledge question

Msdp source active messages are sent to peers in response to pim registers
the router receives.

Pim registers are the responsibility of the DR on the same subnet as the
source.

When you have the static route the c4900 sees the source as directly
attached, making it both the RP and the DR responsible for sending the
registers (to itself). Without the static route the router receives the
data stream, but doesn't know that it should be the router advertising it
to the RP, and the RP doesn't know the stream originates in its domain.
