It depends on your igp, so I suppose you are referring to the case where you
have equal cost paths to each RP ? I have not tested but if it is a problem
just configure max paths 1 under the routing process.
Suppose you have not done this, then if you have sparse dense mode, only the
first mpacket will use the RP. The rest will go through the SPT.
If you have sparse mode only, then the mpackets will alternate and use each
RP in turn. I don't see a problem in any case but it would be a good
exercise to test,

Objet : Anycast RP, please help
Hi:
As you know, with anycast rp each multicast speaking router with multicast
clients elects as RP the igp closest "rp candidate" router. But what
happens if the 2 RP candidates have the same cost to your router? ... is
there a "tie breaker" rule for these situations ( to elect the RP) and
what is it?
Regards and thank you very much for your help
Juan
