MSDP Application: Anycast-RP
•draft-ietf-mboned-anycast-rp-xx.txt
•Within a domain, deploy more than one RP for the same group range
•Sources from one RP are known to other RPs using MSDP
•Give each RP the same /32 IP address
•Sources and receivers use closest RP, as determined by the IGP
•Used intra-domain to provide redundancy and RP load sharing, when an RP goes down, sources and receivers are taken to new RP via unicast routing
•Fast convergence!
