Explanation:
Phantom RP
In Bidirectional PIM (Bidir-PIM), the RP does not have an actual protocol function. The RP acts as
a routing vector in which all the traffic converges. The RP can be configured as an address that is
not assigned to any particular device called a Phantom RP. This means that the RP address does
not need to reside on a physical router interface, but can just be an address in a subnet. The RP
can also be a physical router, but it is not necessary.http://www.cisco.com/en/US/prod/collateral/iosswrel/ps6537/ps6552/whitepaper_c11-508498.html
