[j-nsp] Multicast Traffic over L2VPN

[Paul Stewart]

Yeah - not much difference ... l2circuit using LDP sounds like it's worked
fine for years for you... we were trying l2vpn (MBGP/RSVP) but can't
understand why it would matter....

We moved to VPLS and everything works - would love to know why we couldn't
pass traffic with l2vpn specifically .... oh well I guess ;)

Thanks,

Paul

We have carried lots of multicast traffic on l2circuit (Martini type
point-to-point pseudowire) for years. Never had a problem.
