Signal-Free Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) Multicast
Abstract
When multicast sources and receivers are active at Locator/ID
Separation Protocol (LISP) sites, the core network is required to use
native multicast so packets can be delivered from sources to group
members. When multicast is not available to connect the multicast
sites together, a signal-free mechanism can be used to allow traffic
to flow between sites. The mechanism described in this document uses
unicast replication and encapsulation over the core network for the
data plane and uses the LISP mapping database system so encapsulators
at the source LISP multicast site can find decapsulators at the
receiver LISP multicast sites.
