Usage Information First-hop routers use this address by to send register packets on behalf of source multicast hosts. The RP
addresses are stored in the order in which they are entered. RP addresses learned using BSR take priority over
static RP addresses. Without the override option, RPs advertised by the BSR updates take precedence over
the statically configured RPs.
