Abstract
This document describes procedures for building inter-area point-to-
multipoint (P2MP) segmented service LSPs by partitioning such LSPs
into intra-area segments and using BGP as the inter-area routing and
label distribution protocol. Within each IGP area the intra-area
segments are either carried over intra-area P2MP LSPs, using P2MP LSP
hierarchy, or instantiated using ingress replication. The intra-area
P2MP LSPs may be signaled using P2MP RSVP-TE or P2MP mLDP. If ingress
replication is used within an IGP area, then MP2P LDP LSPs or P2P
RSVP-TE LSPs may be used in the IGP area. The applications/services
that use such inter-area service LSPs may be BGP MVPN, VPLS
multicast, or global table multicast over MPLS.
