Similarly, in Figure 34-8, when PIM-SM snooping is enabled and multicast data is sent to VLAN members
of group G, the switches forward the data traffic from the server attached to Router B only to the router
(Router A) in the multicast group that should receive it. Without PIM-SM snooping, the switches would
flood the data to all connected routers, including Routers C and D.
