Also, routers on packet route automatically optimize route by deleting unnecessary hops
when traffic exceeds certain limit. After route to source and multicast group connected to
the source are constituted, all sources have route to connect to receiver directly.
In the below figure, packets are usually transmitted through『A→B→C→D』, but packets
are transmitted through faster route『A→C→F』when traffic is increased. SPT (Shortest-
Path Tree) selects the shortest route between source and receiver regardless of RP, it is
called source based tree or short path tree. SPT has (S, G) entry, “S” means source ad-
dress and “G” means multicast group.
