Hi John,
Switching replication modes basically purges the hardware of all
mroutes and those will be reprogrammed based on the current software
state. It will be potentially disruptive for all mroutes, but the
exact amount of traffic loss/blackholing would depend on the rate of
each stream at the time, and the overall amount of time it takes to
reprogram. For a few 100 mroutes, I would not expect much impact.
Hope that helps,
Tim

We're running 12.2(33)SRC2, I believe. It's actually experimental code
and the exact version is overwritten with another code.
