Abstract:
This document specifies the Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism for the class
of multicast routing protocols in the PIM (Protocol Independent Multicast) family that use the concept of
a Rendezvous Point as a means for receivers to discover the sources that send to a
particular multicast group. BSR is one way that a multicast router can learn the set of
group-to-RP mappings required in order to function. The mechanism is dynamic, largely
self-configuring, and robust to router failure. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
