Title : Bootstrap Router (BSR) Mechanism for PIM Sparse Mode

This document specifies the Bootstrap Router (BSR) mechanism
for PIM Sparse Mode. BSR is one way that a PIM-SM router can
learn the set of group-to-RP mappings required in order to
function. The mechanism is dynamic, largely self-configuring,
and robust to router failure

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.
