[j-nsp] Multicast flow with "Wrong incoming interface notifications" counter incrementing

[Riccardo S]

Indeed I've checked with the command show "multicast rpf source-ip" and rpf was ok.

And also with the monitor interface command I saw multicast traffic sent out, but not sure if for those particular group.

Alternately, you might be getting same (S,G) traffic on 2 different iifs and in this case one coming over correct iif gets forwarded and one over wrong iif gets discarded with iif mismatch counted against that (S,G).
