Well, Can't we tell which RP can announce itself to which group? That
way we can scramble the RP information going out, I'm just trying to
think out of the box hear.
Or isn't that what group-list option of ip pim rp-candidate is meant
for? As in to tell which RP is responsible for which group, if there is
no rp for a group and dense mode unsupported, then no one can join it?
I understand what Lora is asking, and no, there is no direct
implementation as to what to announce and what not to announce, but if
we can control what BSR permits/receives from condidate-RPs, doesn't
that mean we can effectively control what it announces out to the
clients?
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau

Lora,
My understanding of BSR is the RP Candidate can announce to the BSR
which
groups it is willing to be the RP for, and the BSR is the mapping agent
that
tells clients which RPs are out there, and for what groups.
I do not believe there is a way to make the BSR only map for certain
groups. I think that would break the BSR process because BSR uses
priorities, and one BSR is the primary BSR. You limit RP eligibility
based
on the RP announce, not from the BSR side.
