MP2MP LSPs as P-Tunnels
Each P-tunnel is MP2MP LSP rooted at a given PE
To send a JP to a PE, join its MP2MP LSP and send the JP on that LSP
Bidir: joining based on RPA discovery, choose DF based on upstream multicast hop selection for RPA
To send data to the other PEs:
Non-bidir: send on the MP2MP LSP that you are the root of
Bidir: send on the MP2MP LSP rooted at the selected DF?
N.B.: If no one wants data from a particular PE, the P-tunnel rooted at that PE is never created
