## Monitor the Data Transfer Rate After a Register Stop Message

To avoid the encapsulation of multicast data packets from the first hop router to the RP, you can send the system a register stop message. You can specify the amount of time (in seconds) the RP monitors the number of register packets after sending a register stop message.

1. Specify how long the RP will monitor the number of packets received after a register stop message.

       SEFOS# configure terminal
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim enable
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-threshold 10
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim rp-switchperiod 15
       SEFOS(config)# set ip pim regstop-ratelimit-period 10
       SEFOS(config)# end

   This example sets the RP to monitor the number of registered packets received for 10 seconds after a register stop message has been sent.

2. Ensure that the correct period of time has been set.

       SEFOS# show ip pim thresholds
