  2. About This Draft • Provides protocols and procedures by which an selective tree can be used to carry traffic belonging only to a specified set of IP multicast streams from one or more EVPN instances. • Current EVPN does not provide the usage of selective trees for carrying multicast traffic. • If a particular stream has a large amount of traffic, it may result in highly non-optimal bandwidth utilization in the provider network. IETF 88 Vancouver

  3. BGP EVPN NLRI Extensions • Selective Multicast A-D Route: • Used to bind (C-S, C-G) to an Selective Tree • Leaf A-D Route: • Used to explicit tracking of the IP multicast stream IETF 88 Vancouver

  4. Binding (C-S, C-G) to an Selective Tree • Originating Selective Multicast A-D Routes by a PE(P2MP) • Construction of Selective Multicast A-D Route and P-Tunnel Identification(as same as the construction of Inclusive Multicast Ethernet Tag Route except the setting of C-S and C-G ) • Multicast Source field MUST contain the C-multicast stream source address, if the source address is a wildcard the source address is set to 0 • Multicast Group field MUST contain the C-multicast stream group address, if the group address is a wildcard the group address is set to 0 • Receiving Selective Multicast A-D Routes by a PE(P2MP) • Determine the C-multicast state snooped on the PE-CE interfaces.(will be described in future version) • If the snooped C-multicast state match the Selective Multicast A-D route, the PE SHOULD join the P-Multicast tree whose identity is carried in the PMSI Tunnel attribute. • The conditions of the snooped state matching the Selective Multicast A-D route are the same as specified in [VPLS-MCAST].

  5. Next Step • Solicit comments and feedbacks • Revise the draft IETF 88 Vancouver
