Multicast VPN fast upstream failover
draft-ietf-bess-mvpn-fast-failover-03
Abstract
This document defines multicast VPN extensions and procedures that
allow fast failover for upstream failures, by allowing downstream PEs
to take into account the status of Provider-Tunnels (P-tunnels) when
selecting the upstream PE for a VPN multicast flow, and extending BGP
MVPN routing so that a C-multicast route can be advertised toward a
standby upstream PE.
