A Framework for Multicast in Network Virtualization over Layer 3
RFC 8293, “A Framework for Multicast in Network Virtualization over Layer 3”, is an Informational document published in January 2018 by A. Ghanwani, L. Dunbar, M. McBride, V. Bannai, R. Krishnan. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides a framework for supporting multicast traffic in a network that uses Network Virtualization over Layer 3 (NVO3). Both infrastructure multicast and application-specific multicast are discussed. It describes the various mechanisms that can be used for delivering such traffic as well as the data plane and control plane considerations for each of the mechanisms.
