What is Cisco Multicast Rendezvous Point?

Cisco Multicast Rendezvous Point, commonly referred to as Cisco RP, is a critical component in a multicast network domain. It functions as a router that serves as the shared root for a multicast shared tree, also known as a Rendezvous Point (RP) tree. In this role, Cisco RP is responsible for aggregating multicast traffic from source routers and then distributing it to any receivers that have joined the multicast group. This streamlines the multicast traffic flow and ensures efficient bandwidth utilization. It has a central role in managing traffic within a network multicast domain and aims to simplify group management as well as traffic distribution.
