Technical Summary
This specifies an alternate technique than what has already been described
to transport Bidir-PIM multicast traffic of a multicast VPN across a provider network.
RFC 6513 described a method to support bidirectional C-flow using
"Partial Mesh of MP2MP P-Tunnels". This document describes how
partial mesh of MP2MP P-Tunnels can be simulated with Ingress
Replication, instead of a real MP2MP tunnel. This enables a Service
Provider to use Ingress Replication to offer transparent BIDIR-PIM
service to its VPN customers.
