Configuring join/prune message sizes
A large join/prune message size might result in loss of a larger amount of information if a message is lost.
You can set a small value for the size of each join/prune message to reduce the impact in case of the loss
of a message.
By controlling the maximum number of (S, G) entries in each join/prune message, you can effectively
reduce the number of (S, G) entries sent per unit of time.
