Re: *.G entry in Dense Mode,

Some things are just because someone decided that this was the best way
to do it, and you may not have all the data to "see" why it was so.
Unless you are a programmer and are trying to understand an
implementation design decision: that's the way it is.

Cisco IOS routers use a data model where some of the data of (S,G)
entries is at the (*,G) entry. So even if it is not needed for the sake
of the protocol (PIM Dense), it is used.
