[f-nsp] Fwd: anycast rp

[debbie fligor]

We've only worked with the larger boxes for MSDP (NI 40G, MLX,  
FI400/800).  I know that basic PIM works well on this platform at  
software 4.1 and later (you do want to run current code though, the  
3.2 and 4.0 code trains had some PIM/IGMP interaction issues that are  
fixed in 4.1), but I can't help either way about MSDP and anycast RP  
on this platform, we haven't done it.

I'd like to hear how it works out though when you try it.
