Title : Using LDP for VPLS Multicast

In Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS), as also in IEEE Bridged
Networks, the switches simply flood multicast traffic on all ports in
the LAN by default. Multicast Snooping can be used to avoid the
unnecessary flooding as defined in [MAGMA-SNOOP] and [PIM-SNOOP].
When the number of Pseudo Wires (PWs) and refresh messages increases
dramatically, it is desirable to reduce the messages exchanged between
VPLS PE routers to improve scalability. This document describes the
procedures and recommendations for using LDP for exchanging Multicast
state information as LDP is a standard signaling protocol for VPLS.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
