Abstract

Presented herein are techniques for leveraging the global Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) multicast virtual private network (mVPN) view (using mVPN context discovery) on the route reflector to optimize the distribution of the traffic forwarded in a BGP C-multicast mVPN core where receives are only located behind the provider edge (PE) routers (PEs).
