Sparse-mode routing protocols use shared trees. In a shared tree, sources forward
multicast datagrams to a directly connected router, the designated router. The designated
router encapsulates the datagram and unicasts it to an assigned RP router, which then
forwards the datagram to members of multicast groups.
Dense mode protocols are data driven, where multicast sources starts sending multicast
data packets and receivers join if they want data packets or prune themselves
