Hi, thanks for the quick response! I've updated the shepherd's writeup
now. Next we'll get AD's review.

The best solution is to establish a neighbor in time through the peer bfd aware link up, and then the BDR continues to forward until the interface receives the traffic of the group and then modifies the forwarding state of the out interface of the sg/xg.

That would I think make convergence hitless.

R1 and R2 should build peer BFD when there are pim NBR at the beginning, and perceive remote link up according to bfd up event, trigger pim hello and igmp query to send synchronously.
