Assert mechanism
As shown in the following figure, both routers A and B on the LAN have their own
receiving paths to multicast source S. In this case, when they receive a multicast
packet sent from multicast source S, they will both forward the packet to the LAN.
Multicast Router C at the downstream node will receive two copies of the same
multicast packet.

Multicast Router C at the downstream node will receive two copies of the same

When they detect such a case, routers need to select a unique sender by using the
assert mechanism. Routers will send Assert packets to select the best path. If two
or more than two paths have the same priority and metric, the path with a higher
IP address will be the upstream neighbor of the (S, G) entry, which is responsible
for forwarding the (S, G) multicast packet.

Graft
When the pruned downstream node needs to be restored to the forwarding state,
the node will send a graft packet to inform the upstream node.
