Abstract:
Documents [RFC6826] and [I-D.ietf-l3vpn-mldp-vrf-in-band-signaling]
define a solution to splice an IP multicast tree together with a
multipoint LSP in the global or VRF context. In these drafts the
Multipoint Label Distribution Protocol (mLDP) Opaque TLV encodings
have been documented for Source specific and Bidir IP multicast
trees. For each IP multicast tree a multipoint LSP is created.
There are scenarios where it is beneficial to support shared trees
and allow aggregation such that fewer multipoint LSPs are created in
the network. This document defines wildcard encodings to be used for
the Source or Group fields of the existing opaque encodings. With
the wildcard encoding it is possible to create a single multipoint
LSP that is used to represent *all* sources for a given multicast
group or *all* groups for a given source.
