RP [Rendezvous Points] in a rooted Shared Tree distribution system provide sub-optimal routing, but are created as a result of user receiver densities such as rural areas or sub-continental geographic limitations. Content is distributed first to RP and then to receivers. RP in a Bidirectional Tree distributes traffic content at any “point” in the network, reducing data delays.
