Title : IPv4 and IPv6 Infrastructure Addresses in MCAST-VPN Routes
Author(s) : R. Aggarwal, E. Rosen
Filename : draft-ietf-l3vpn-mvpn-infra-addrs-01.txt

To provide Multicast VPN service, a provider edge router originates
Multicast-VPN ("MCAST-VPN") BGP routes. These routes encode
addresses from the customer's address space as well as addresses from
the provider's address space. The customer's address space may be
either IPv4 or IPv6. Independently, the provider's address space may
be either IPv4 or IPv6. The MCAST-VPN BGP routes always contain an
"address family" field that specifies whether the customer addresses
are IPv4 addresses or whether they are IPv6 addresses. However,
there is no field that explicitly specifies whether the provider
addresses are IPv4 addresses or whether they are IPv6 addresses. To
ensure interoperability, this document specifies that MCAST-VPN
routes always encode provider IPv4 addresses as four-octet addresses,
and that the distinction between an IPv4 address and an IPv6 address
is signaled solely by the length of the address field.
