Which statement best describes the impact of an RP failure in a PIM ASM network?
A. All the existing multicast traffic will be stopped immediately as PIM ASM network must have an RP in order to transmit all the multicast traffic
B. The multicast traffic will be impacted, but not immediately. Multicast routers will not discover the RP failure until the timer expires and the multicast traffic flow will be stopped.
C. No impact at all as RP is not required in a PIM ASM network
D. The traffic will not be impacted if the multicast traffic flows have already been established and the traffic flow does not involve the RP in the path
