PD - As it has been mentioned before, it depends on a
number of things.
The main difference between auto-rp and static RP is
where the configuration needs to be done to add a
multicast group (or scope of groups). So it all
depends on how much control you want to have as well
as the size of the network and how comfortable the
administrator is with pushing changes (ie ACL updates)
to the number of devices under management.
I've seen auto-rp selected most typically for either
large networks or where the administrator wanted to
have full control over what groups were forwarded (ie
forcing users to "register" their multicast
application/group prior to the network supporting the
traffic.
Hope this helps.
