case when the message is from Switch E to Switch F, it is received and forwarded
to other peers.
6) If the SA message is sent from a MSDP peer in a different domain which is the
next autonomous domain along the optimal path to the RP in the domain of source,
as from Switch D to Switch F, it is received and forwarded to other peers.
7) For other SA messages, they are neither received nor forwarded.
III. Precautions for configuration
The router operating MSDP must also run BGP or MBGP. It is recommended to use the
same IP address of the MSDP peer with that of the BGP peer or MBGP peer. If neither
BGP nor MBGP is in operation, a static RPF peer should be configured.
