| A. |
BGP | |
| B. |
Multiprotocol BGP | |
| C. |
MSDP | |
| D. |
Bidirectional PIM | |

PIM SSM |
Using Anycast RP is an implementation strategy that provides load sharing and redundancy in Protocol Independent Multicast sparse mode (PIM-SM) networks. Anycast RP allows two or more rendezvous points (RPs) to share the load for source registration and the ability to act as hot backup routers for each other. Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) is the key protocol that makes Anycast RP possible.
