Very true, but "ip mroute" is a much quicker solution for things. Unless
you're getting a decent number of points in the multicast tasks, I would
think this would be "overengineering" and take more time than it was worth
in the lab!

But you are correct, it does work and exchange RPF information very well!

Hello guys,

We all know that in real life people usually rely on MBGP to exchange
multicast routing information (mcast sources). That's how interdomain
multicast is usually being built: MSDP+MBGP.

AnycastRP is, after all, an intradomain multicast task. But one should
remember MBGP anyway. In some complex cases, you may look at your BGP
topology, and enable MBGP to deliver some multicast routing information
(e.g, if you are prohibited to use static mroute entries).

While this may look overcomplicated, it really worked in some of my training
scenarios :)
