 RP English
RP has for many years epitomized the "top end of the scale" of British English and it is what English people have traditionally meant when they’ve said that someone "hasn’t got an accent." It remains that RP is often regarded as a "neutral" and often "correct" accent.
RP is also the accent that Americans and possibly other foreigners would likely refer to as the typical British accent.
Wales (1994) also differentiates between them in saying that "conservative" RP is often spoken by the older generation, and "advanced" RP by the younger generation.

 eMedicine - Retinitis Pigmentosa : Article by David G Telander, MD, PhD
RP can be passed on by all types of inheritance: 20-25% is autosomal dominant, 15-20% is autosomal recessive, and 5-10% is X linked, while the remaining 45-50% is found in patients without any known affected relatives.
RP is a misnomer, as the word retinitis implies an inflammatory response, which has not been found to be a predominant feature of this condition.
Pathophysiology: RP is typically thought of as a rod-cone dystrophy in which the genetic defects cause cell death (apoptosis), predominantly in the rod photoreceptors; less commonly, the genetic defects affect the RPE and cone photoreceptors.

 BBC - h2g2 - RP - Received Pronunciation - A657560
Today RP is used by linguistists as a 'standard' pronunciation of British English for study purposes and also by teachers of English as a Foreign Language so that schools can teach a standard form of spoken British English.
RP is regarded to be the form of English pronunciation most widely recognised and understood within the British national community.
RP used to be so omnipresent on the BBC (especially in pre-TV days) that BBC English actually became an accepted synonym for RP.

 Received Pronunciation
RP has certainly changed in my lifetime, as anyone can verify by watching old wartime propaganda films and newsreels and listening to the way the officers spoke.
That was the form known as "marked RP", which has virtually disappeared today, and has been modified even in the speech of the Queen and other members of the old aristocracy.
This is not to say that a regional accent should be a barrier to their ability to teach, but nonetheless RP is considered appropriate in the classroom, particularly in higher education.

 Anycast RP
Actually, the router closest to a source or a receiver registers with the RP, but the key point to note is that the RP "knows" about all the sources and receivers for any particular group.
If the receiving MSDP peer is an RP, and the RP has a (*, G) entry for the group in the SA (there is an interested receiver), the RP creates (S, G) state for the source and joins to the shortest path tree for the source.
Because a source may register with one RP and receivers may join to a different RP, a method is needed for the RPs to exchange information about active sources.

 Radiation Pattern (RP)

At a single frequency, any number of RP cards may occur in sequence so that different field-point spacings may be used over different regions of space.

 VN Boards - What's Wrong with RP?
There are those that shun anyone that can't RP well and thus make it so the people that try and don't do well stop trying and never learn to enjoy it and there are those that shun anyone that RPs because they think it's stupid or feel intimidated by it.
You can RP until your fingers fall off, but at the end of the day, those NPCs are still there, still doing what they always do (nothing), and you cannot kill them, cannot arrest them, and cannot affect them in any way whatsoever.
RP is what you make it, it just does not happen, you have to work at it.
