Anycast-RP Using Protocol Independent Multicast
RFC 4610, “Anycast-RP Using Protocol Independent Multicast”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2006 by D. Farinacci, Y. Cai. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This specification allows Anycast-RP (Rendezvous Point) to be used inside a domain that runs Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) only. Other multicast protocols (such as Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP), which has been used traditionally to solve this problem) are not required to support Anycast-RP. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
