[c-nsp] m-vpn

[Aaron]

Hi all,

 

I've read through Chapter 7 of "MPLS and VPN Architectures Volume II"
regarding Multicast VPN.

 

I never saw any mention of enabling the ipv4 mdt address family under bgp.
Is this ipv4 mdt af something altogether different than what is spoken of in
the book ?  .or did I totally miss something in that chapter about the ipv4
mdt af being implicitly enable somehow.

 

I'm just trying to accomplish mcast over my mpls L3VPN.  This will be for my
high capacity mcast for catv for all my catv subscribers.  2-3 gbps
sustained 24x7.  A couple different pe/ce will xmit and a couple different
pe/ce will rcv.  I'd prefer to use ssm cause I don't wanna mess with rp's
and sup-optimal routing to and from rp and single point of failure on rp (so
I don't wanna mess with redundant rp either if I can simply do ssm)
