Abstract

This draft presents a method to interconnect IPv6 multicast islands over an IPv4 cloud. This method relies on IPv6 Multicast Provider Edge routers (6MPE), which support Dual-Stack in order to connect to IPv6 multicast islands and to the IPv4 core. The 6MPE routers extend the Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol(MP-BGP), exchange the IPv6 multicast reachability information transparently over the IPv4 core using the MP-BGP.
