      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document describes a solution framework for overcoming the
   limitations of existing Multicast VPN (MVPN) and VPLS multicast
   solutions.  It describes procedures for enhancing the scalability of
   multicast for BGP/MPLS VPNs. It also describes procedures for VPLS
   multicast that utilize multicast trees in the sevice provider (SP)
   network.  The procedures described here reduce the overhead of PIM
   neighbor relationships that a PE router needs to maintain for
   BGP/MPLS VPNs. They also reduce the state (and the overhead of
   maintaining the state) in the SP network by removing the need to
   maintain in the SP network at least one dedicated multicast tree per
   each VPN.
