Multicast VPN—Current Deployments
Based on draft-rosen-vpn-mcast-08.txt
Many similarities to unicast, and some differences
CE-routers maintain PIM adjacency with PE-router only
Similar concept to 2547/4364 VPNs
P-routers do not hold (S, G) state for individual customers
Unlike unicast, there is some per-customer state in P-routers
PE-routers exchange customer routing information using PIM
Contrast to BGP for unicast
Customer multicast group addresses need not be unique
Same as 2547/4364
