Simulating Partial Mesh of Multipoint-to-Multipoint Provider Tunnels with Ingress Replication
RFC 7740, “Simulating Partial Mesh of Multipoint-to-Multipoint Provider Tunnels with Ingress Replication”, is a Proposed Standard document published in January 2016 by Z. Zhang, Y. Rekhter, A. Dolganow. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
RFC 6513 ("Multicast in MPLS/BGP IP VPNs") describes a method to support bidirectional customer multicast flows using a partial mesh of Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) tunnels. This document specifies how a partial mesh of MP2MP tunnels can be simulated using Ingress Replication. This solution enables a service provider to use Ingress Replication to offer transparent bidirectional multicast service to its VPN customers.
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.
