BGP/MPLS Layer 3 VPN Multicast Management Information Base
Abstract
This memo defines a portion of the Management Information Base (MIB)
for use with network management protocols in the Internet community.
In particular, it describes managed objects to configure and/or
monitor Multicast communication over IP Virtual Private Networks
(VPNs) supported by the Multiprotocol Label Switching/Border Gateway
Protocol (MPLS/BGP) on a Provider Edge (PE) router.

1. Introduction
[RFC6513], [RFC6514], and [RFC6625] specify procedures for supporting
multicast in Multiprotocol Label Switching/Border Gateway Protocol
(MPLS/BGP) Layer 3 (IP) Virtual Private Networks (VPNs). Throughout
this document, we will use the term "MVPN" (for "multicast VPN")
[RFC6513] to refer to a BGP/MPLS IP VPN that supports multicast.
Provider Edge (PE) routers that attach to a particular MVPN exchange
customer multicast (C-multicast) routing information with neighboring
PEs. In [RFC6513], two basic methods for exchanging C-multicast
routing information are defined: (1) Protocol Independent Multicast
(PIM) [RFC7761] and (2) BGP.
In the rest of this document, we will use the term "PIM-MVPN" to
refer to the case where PIM is used for exchanging C-multicast
routing information and "BGP-MVPN" to refer to the case where BGP is
used for exchanging C-multicast routing information.
This document describes managed objects to configure and/or monitor
MVPNs. Most of the managed objects are common to both PIM-MVPN and
BGP-MVPN, and some managed objects are BGP-MVPN specific.
1.1. Terminology
This document adopts the definitions, abbreviations, and mechanisms
described in [RFC4364], [RFC6513], and [RFC6514]. Familiarity with
multicast, MPLS, Layer 3 (L3) VPN, and MVPN concepts and/or
mechanisms is assumed. Some terms specifically related to this
document are explained below.

RFC 8503 L3 VPN Multicast MIB December 2018
An MVPN can be realized by using various kinds of transport
mechanisms for forwarding a packet to all or a subset of PEs across
service provider networks. Such transport mechanisms are referred to
as provider tunnels (P-tunnels).
