Abstract:
   There is a need to simplify network operations for multicast
   services.  Current solutions require a tree-building control plane to
   build and maintain end-to-end tree state per flow, impacting router
   state capacity and network convergence times.  Multi-point tree
   building protocols are often considered complex to deploy and debug
   and may include mechanics from legacy use-cases and/or assumptions
   which no longer apply to the current use-cases.  When multicast
   services are transiting a provider network through an overlay, the
   core network has a choice to either aggregate customer state into a
   minimum set of core states resulting in flooding traffic to unwanted
   network end-points, or to map per-customer, per-flow tree state
   directly into the provider core state amplifying the network-wide
   state problem.
