RFC 7900: Extranet Multicast in BGP/IP MPLS VPNs

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 8534. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

Previous RFCs specify the procedures necessary to allow IP multicast traffic to travel from one site to another within a BGP/MPLS IP VPN (Virtual Private Network). However, it is sometimes desirable to allow multicast traffic whose source is in one VPN to be received by systems that are in another VPN. This is known as a "Multicast VPN (MVPN) extranet". This document updates RFCs 6513, 6514, and 6625 by specifying the procedures that are necessary in order to provide extranet MVPN service.
