MVPN Video 13 - Introduction to Next Generation MVPN
This is the thirteenth video of a video series on Multicast VPNs (MVPN) and their implementation on both IOS and IOS-XR routers with a focus on CCIE candidate requirements.
In this video, we introduce the Next Generation MVPN framework as defined in RFC 6513 and RFC 6914. We discuss the need for improvement over the classic Draft-Rosen based methods by discussing the various cons of those methods (Scaling, diversified control plane).
Next we make a case for the use of BGP for MVPN control plane and how it can help MVPN solutions scale (NG-MVPN).
The video wraps up with a high level discussion of the framework itself and how it correlates to the "Profile" method popularized by Cisco systems. Some of the topics are the use of multiple control plane mechanisms allowed (PIM, BGP and mLDP) and multiple core trees allowed (GRE or MP-GRE, Ingress Replication, mLDP and RSVP-TE P2MP LSPs).
