RFC 6513 ("Multicast in MPLS/BGP IP VPNs") describes a method to
support bidirectional customer multicast flows using a partial mesh
of Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) tunnels. This document specifies
how a partial mesh of MP2MP tunnels can be simulated using Ingress
Replication. This solution enables a service provider to use Ingress
Replication to offer transparent bidirectional multicast service to
its VPN customers.
This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this
