Multicast in MPLS/BGP IP VPNs
RFC 6513, “Multicast in MPLS/BGP IP VPNs”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2012 by E. Rosen, R. Aggarwal. It has since been updated by RFC 7582, RFC 7900, RFC 7988. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
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. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
The canonical text of RFC 6513 is hosted at rfc-editor.org. Available in TXT,HTML.
