Multicast in MPLS/BGP IP VPNs
Abstract
In order for IP multicast traffic within a BGP/MPLS IP VPN (Virtual
Private Network) to travel from one VPN site to another, special
protocols and procedures must be implemented by the VPN Service
Provider. These protocols and procedures are specified in this
document.
