Inter-Area Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP)
Segmented Label Switched Paths (LSPs)
Abstract
This document describes procedures for building inter-area point-to-
multipoint (P2MP) segmented service label switched paths (LSPs) by
partitioning such LSPs into intra-area segments and using BGP as the
inter-area routing and Label Distribution Protocol (LDP). 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 multipoint LDP (mLDP). If ingress replication
is used within an IGP area, then (multipoint-to-point) LDP LSPs or
(point-to-point) RSVP-TE LSPs may be used in the IGP area. The
applications/services that use such inter-area service LSPs may be
BGP Multicast VPN, Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS) multicast, or
global table multicast over MPLS.
