Subject: PIM-SM over NBMA networks

I would like to get a better understanding of how PIM-SM should function
on a NBMA link. I guess, issues which would arise on an NBMA link
include.... 

*) Join Suppression / Prune Override
*) DR election
*) Asserts

We currently require users to configure point-to-point virtual interfaces
over the NBMA link to ensure correct behavior. Would like to know if there
is a better solution. 

Thanks.
