Title : PIM Group-to-RP Mapping

Each PIM-SM router in a PIM Domain which supports ASM maintains
Group-to-RP mappings which are used to identify a RP for a specific
multicast group. PIM-SM has defined an algorithm to choose a RP from
the Group-to-RP mappings learned using various mechanisms. This
algorithm does not allow administrator to override a specific Group-to-RP mapping with the static Group-to-RP mapping which an
administrator would want to use. This algorithm also does not
consider the PIM mode and the mechanism through which a Group-to-RP
mapping was learned.
This document first explains the requirements to extend the
Group-to-RP mapping algorithm and then proposes the new algorithm.

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
Internet-Draft.
