Abstract:
In data-center networks it is common to use Clos network topologies
[clos] in order to provide a non-blocking switched network. In these
topologies it is often not desirable to provide native IP multicast
service.
This document defines a multicast replication algorithm along with
its control and data forwarding procedures that provides a multicast
service for a BGP IP VPN network without assuming that the underlying
infrastructure supports IP multicast.
