Rendezvous Point
A rendezvous point (RP) is required only in networks running Protocol Independent Multicast sparse
mode (PIM-SM). The protocol is described in RFC 2362.
For more information on RP, see the Configuring a Rendezvous Point guide at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/solutions_docs/ip_multicast/White_papers/rps.html
The recommended methods for configuring an RP in a PIM-SM network are given below:
• Static RP
• Bootstrap router
• Anycast RP
