[c-nsp] inter-as multicast

[tkacprzynski at SpencerStuart.com]

Did you look at using multicast MSDP with M-BGP?

Hi,

Merging PIM domains between different networks is not the best idea
(unless on either side it's a VPN providing services to the other
side...)

In multicast you need to worry about a few points:
- RPF paths to the sources have to follow the right multicast path
- You need to be able to signal which groups you want to join for
- You need to learn the sources (unless using PIM-SSM)

A few relevant references:

We have a BGP inter-as peering with one of our service provider over a
sub-interface of a point to point link. And now we want to run PIM
(between us and service provider) using a different sub-interface over a
same point to point link. Someone told me that PIM is an intra-as
protocol and can't be run between service provider. 
Now the question is .. what if we get a /30 IP-Address (keeping in mind
that /30 belongs to service provider AS and they can see it in their IGP
table) from the upstream provider and run PIM over it and then you can
have a static IGMP join on your own router so that our own AS-IPs can
get the multicast. 
thanks
