Hi John,
The duplication itself is a problem - a receiver should not receive duplicates.
However, a source should not send the same packet to two BDs. That's what the
paragraph is supposing:
... (This does assume that source S does not
send the same (S,G) datagram on two different BDs ...)
Thanks.

So the only consequence is suboptimality because of duplicated packets? That
seems fine. Thanks.
