Abstract:
When a Service Provider offers BGP/MPLS IP VPN service to its
customers, RFCs 6513 and 6514 describe protocols and procedures that
the Service Provider can use in order to carry the customer's IP
multicast traffic from one customer site to others. BGP can be used
to carry customer multicast routing information from one Provider
Edge (PE) router to another, but it is assumed that PIM is running on
the interface between a Customer Edge (CE) router and a PE router.
This document specifies protocols and procedures that, under certain
conditions, allow customer multicast routing information to carried
between PE and CE via BGP. This can eliminate the need to run PIM on
the PE-CE interfaces, potentially eliminating the need to run PIM on
the PE routers at all.
