appropriate C-RP information for each multicast group to form an RP-set, which is a database of
mappings between IPv6 multicast groups and RPs. The BSR then encapsulates the RP-set in the bootstrap
messages it periodically originates and floods the bootstrap messages (BSMs) to the entire IPv6 PIM-SM
domain.
Figure 4 BSR and C-RPs
Based on the information in the RP-sets, all routers in the network can calculate the location of the
corresponding RPs based on the following rules:
1. The C-RP with the highest priority wins.
2. If all the C-RPs have the same priority, their hash values are calculated through the hashing
algorithm. The C-RP with the largest hash value wins.
3. If all the C-RPs have the same priority and hash value, the C-RP has the highest IP address wins.
The hashing algorithm used for RP calculation is: Value (G, M, C
i
) = (1103515245 * ( (1103515245 * (G
& M) + 12345) XOR C
i
) + 12345) mod 2 31 . The table below gives the meanings of the values in this
algorithm.
Table 1 Values in the hashing algorithm
Value Description
Value Hash value
G
The digest from the exclusive-or (XOR) operation between the 32-bit segments of the IPv6
multicast group address. For example, if the IPv6 multicast address is
FF0E:C20:1A3:63::101, G = 0xFF0E0C20 XOR 0x01A30063 XOR 0x00000000
XOR 0x00000101
M Hash mask length
C
i
The digest from the exclusive-or (XOR) operation between the 32-bit segments of the C-RP
IPv6 address. For example, if the IPv6 address of the C-RP is 3FFE:B00:C18:1::10, C
i
=
0x3FFE0B00 XOR 0x0C180001 XOR 0x00000000 XOR 0x00000010
& Logical operator of “and”
XOR Logical operator of “exclusive-or”
mod Modulo operator, which gives the remainder of an integer division
