Anycast

Multicast using Anycast RP with Auto-RP and BSR


Anycast RP is a method to create redundancy of rendezvous point (RP) routers in a [Multicast](/multicast) environment.  It takes advantage of the use of [Anycast](/anycast).

The idea behind anycast RP is that we configure a **single [IP](/ipv4) address on multiple routers** and advertise it in our [IGP](/routing-difference-between-igps-and-egps). When you have multiple RPs with the same IP address, it means that our sources and receivers will always be routed to the **closest RP** based on the unicast [Routing Table](/routing-table). PIM Join messages from receivers might be sent to one RP, while PIM designated routers register their local sources to another RP.
