Hello Gladston,
The answer to your question can be found on the documentation CD.
"Configuring a Rendezvous Point
If you configure PIM to operate in sparse mode, you must also choose one
or more routers to be rendezvous points (RPs). You need not configure
the routers to be RPs; they learn how to become RPs themselves. RPs are
used by senders to a multicast group to announce their existence and by
receivers of multicast packets to learn about new senders. The Cisco IOS
software can be configured so that packets for a single multicast group
can use one or more RPs."
Here is the link:

fipr_c/ipcpt3/1cfmulti.htm#1001086
Now you can explain to IBM executives, that it's ok to put SP2 on
Microsoft XP. :)
Hope that helps, and please be sure to test as well to verify.

I consider that if two routers are configured with Sparse-Mode it is
necessary a RP or it will be impossible to have multicast traffic. Am I
correct?
