Anycast RP (Rendezvous Point) is widely supported by router
vendors. Each RP in the anycast RP set is configured with the RP
Address (RPA), and the addresses of all members/routers in the
anycast-RP set. If the number of anycast RP members is more than 1,
manual configuration of RP information is prone to inconsistency
which can cause connectivity problems, especially when the addresses
are IPv6 address or the members of anycast RP set need to be changed
(e.g.some new members are added, or some old members are removed from
the anycast RP set). Aiming to this problem, this document provides
a mechanism to automatically configure anycast RP members/routers.
In this mechanism,only one RP member/router in the anycast RP set
needs to be configured firstly, so it knows the anycast RP address
and the addresses of all members in the anycast RP set. It sends
anycast RP configuration information (including the anycast RP
address and an address list) to each of other member in the
anycast-RP set. Other members will check the information and
configure itself after receiving the anycast RP configuration
information,and respond the firstly configured RP with checking
results and configuration results.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
