PIM Sparse Mode with Static RP

Scenario
Basic PIM-SM Setup with static RP. The router has one WAN interface, one LAN interface and one loopback used for the RP address. All are advertised into OSPF. Although not shown here, an access-list can be applied to the rp-address statement (for both IOS and XR) to specific which group(s) the RP services.
