Internet Group Management Protocol and Multicast Listener Discovery Proxies for Ethernet VPN
RFC 9251, “Internet Group Management Protocol and Multicast Listener Discovery Proxies for Ethernet VPN”, is a Proposed Standard document published in June 2022 by A. Sajassi, S. Thoria, M. Mishra, K. Patel, J. Drake, W. Lin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document describes how to support endpoints running the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) or Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) efficiently for the multicast services over an Ethernet VPN (EVPN) network by incorporating IGMP/MLD Proxy procedures on EVPN Provider Edges (PEs).
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.
