               MVPN/EVPN C-Multicast Routes Enhancements
           draft-zzhang-bess-mvpn-evpn-cmcast-enhancements-01

Abstract

   [RFC6513] and [RFC6514] specify procedures for originating,
   propagating, and processing "C-multicast routes".  However, there are
   a number of MVPN use cases that are not properly or optimally handled
   by those procedures.  This document describes those use cases, and
   specifies the additional procedures needed to handle them.  Some of
   the additional procedures are also applicable to EVPN SMET routes [I-
   D.ietf-bess-evpn-igmp-mld-proxy].

Requirements Language

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
   document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119].
