Anycast RP
Hello all,
I am currently studying the multicast topics of the v3 R&S exam and was wondering what I should read about Anycast RP. I mean do I have to study MSDP and stuff like that for the written? Please tell me if you know from which books I can read about it. I have the following books but I couldn't find almost anything about Anycast RP:
Cisco Multicast Routing & Switching
Cisco Press 2000 - CCIE Developing IP Multicast Networks
Cisco Press 2001 - Routing TCP-IP Volume II (CCIE Professional Development)
Cisco Press 2002 - Interdomain Multicast Solutions Guide (found a little stuff about Anycast RP, not enough though)

Wendall Odom CCIE Routing and Switching, Official Exam Certification Guide by Cisco Press. The multicast chapters are well explained with many diagrams. It's a very informative book. -

Another great book on multicast from a more vendor neutral POV is
http://www.amazon.com/Interdomain-Multicast-Routing-Practical-Solutions/dp/0201746123/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-8351149-2725228?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1181418796&sr=8-1
Anycast is basicly a way for a multiple PIM-RP's to use/share the same IP address. It allows load balancing / failover of your RP's.
