This RP is connected to us - comes from RENATER in FR. I think, I know the 
cause -
we had this cases at the beginning, when the MSDP redistribution was 
configured
improperly causing "back" flooding of everything the RP got but with
himself as originator. I will shutdown this peering and contact them to
correct the config.
