Context • Many solutions proposed for multicast in VPNs • Existing requirements for PP VPN only address unicast services • Multicast VPN deployment needs specific requirements • Operator feedback may help to guide multicast VPN solution design 2
Overview 1/2 • Goals • Document functional requirements for solutions enabling provider provisioned IP VPNs to carry customers multicast traffic • Be solution agnostic • Hopefully serve as a guideline for solution drafts • Draft structure • Problem statement • Customer standpoint • Service provider standpoint • Use cases 3
Overview 2/2 • Statement : Bandwidth vs. State Multicast in VPNs problem is "how to make the trade-off ?" • Some key points • Scalability • Tunability : tuning knobs letting the SP choose how to do the trade-off • Traffic engineering • Resource optimization • QoS • Versatility : not bound to a particular tunneling mode • Inter-{AS,provider} support • Monitoring and troubleshooting • Robustness and infrastructure security 4
Open questions • Issues developed are open for discussion • In particular • Extranet support • Fragmentation issues • Control mechanisms • Use cases and corresponding concerns • Carrier's carrier • … 5
Next steps • We already received feedback from some operators • Next revision will integrate those contributions • More feedback wanted • Do you feel this work makes sense ? • What are your requirements ? • Contribute use cases • General comments about the draft • Please send your comments on L3VPN WG mailing list 6
