Are those senders directly connected to XORP and is XORP the DR for
the LAN with the senders. If the senders are transmitting with
relatively high bw, I am trying to find out whether this translates
into PIM Registers overhead in user space (inside xorp_pimsm4).

Even if the unicast routing is not handled by XORP, the
unicast routing table is converged into MRIB that is inside
xorp_pimsm4. Though, please double-check with "netstat -rn" that the
kernel forwarding table is indeed very small.
