  "abstract": "The Multicast Source Discovery Protocol (MSDP) describes a mechanism to connect multiple IP Version 4 Protocol Independent Multicast Sparse-Mode (PIM-SM) domains together.  Each PIM-SM domain uses its own independent Rendezvous Point (RP) and does not have to depend on RPs in other domains.  This document reflects existing MSDP implementations.",
