Each PIM-SM router in a Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) Domain
which supports Any Source Multicast (ASM) maintains Group-to-RP
mappings which are used to identify a Rendezvous Point(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 consider the PIM mode and the mechanism
through which a Group-to-RP mapping was learned.

This document defines a standard algorithm to deterministically
choose between several Group-to-RP mappings for a specific group.
This document first explains the requirements to extend the
Group-to-RP mapping algorithm and then proposes the new algorithm.
