Doesn't the below prove that the lower rp address was preffered 2.2.2.2 over
3.3.3.3 in auto-rp?

Also with BSR the default priority is 0 so regardless of the care you take
in rp election if someone takes one on with default values it is preferred?

        Sounds valid
        
        Lower priority value in BSR is preferred, I believe highest Loopback
Address is preferred for Auto RP, you can have more than one, highest IP
wins.

                Have a question say you have 2 rp's and you wish to do
preferential
                treatment of 1 over the other ,
                you can do it a couple different ways
                
                3 options I know of
                
                1 auto rp configured for the best one and then static rp for
second best on
                all the mcast routers
                2 static rp configured with override keyword for the best
one and autorp for
                second best ? is this valid
                3 bsr configuration with multiple rp's and assign various
priority levels to
                which rp should be prefered
                
                the priority keyword in cco it doesnt declare if the higher
the number the
                better or vice versa
