I guess the books are wrong :-)
The highest IP address wins, when electing a BSR and when electing an RP.
With Auto-RP there is no way to influence this, only with BSR (PIMv2) you
can influence this decission by using the 'ip pim dr-priority' command.

  But in my problem, some books said when using bootstrap, pim routers
will
  choose the smaller C-RP address as a RP,
  my lab shows the pim router use the higher C-RP address as the RP.
  
  Any clues why it is?
