Abstract:
   A set of prior RFCs specify procedures for supporting multicast in
   BGP/MPLS IP VPNs.  These procedures allow customer multicast data to
   travel across a service provider's backbone network through a set of
   multicast tunnels.  The tunnels are advertised in certain BGP "auto-
   discovery" routes, by means of a BGP attribute known as the "Provider
   Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel attribute".  Encodings have
   been defined that allow the PMSI Tunnel attribute to identify
   bidirectional (multipoint-to-multipoint) multicast distribution
   trees.  However, the prior RFCs do not provide all the necessary
   procedures for using bidirectional tunnels to support multicast VPNs.
   This document updates RFCs 6513 and 6625 by specifying those
   procedures.  In particular, it specifies the procedures for assigning
   customer multicast flows (unidirectional or bidirectional) to
   specific bidirectional tunnels in the provider backbone, for
   advertising such assignments, and for determining which flows have
   been assigned to which tunnels.
