Title : Multicast VPN Fast Upstream Failover
Authors : Thomas Morin

Pages : 27

Abstract:
This document defines Multicast Virtual Private Network (VPN)
extensions and procedures that allow fast failover for upstream
failures by allowing downstream Provider Edges (PEs) to consider the
status of Provider-Tunnels (P-tunnels) when selecting the Upstream PE
for a VPN multicast flow. The fast failover is enabled by using RFC
8562 Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) for Multipoint Networks
and the new BGP Attribute - BFD Discriminator. Also, the document
introduces a new BGP Community, Standby PE, extending BGP Multicast
VPN routing so that a C-multicast route can be advertised toward a
Standby Upstream PE.
