Carrying Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM)
in Any-Source Multicast (ASM) Mode Trees over Multipoint LDP (mLDP)
Abstract
When IP multicast trees created by Protocol Independent Multicast -
Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) in Any-Source Multicast (ASM) mode need to pass
through an MPLS domain, it may be desirable to map such trees to
Point-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths (P2MP LSPs). This document
describes how to accomplish this in the case where such P2MP LSPs are
established using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Extensions for
P2MP and Multipoint-to-Multipoint LSPs: Multipoint LDP (mLDP).

RFC 7442 PIM-SM over P2MP mLDP LSPs February 2015
1. Introduction
[RFC6826] describes how to map Point-to-Multipoint Label Switched
Paths (P2MP LSPs) created by mLDP [RFC6388] to multicast trees
created by Protocol Independent Multicast - Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) in
Source-Specific Multicast (SSM) mode [RFC4607]. This document
describes how to map mLDP P2MP trees to multicast trees created by
