Configuring BGP MVPN Peers

Establish a BGP MVPN peer relationship between PEs belonging to the same MVPN so that the PEs can use BGP to exchange BGP A-D and BGP C-multicast routes.

Context

To exchange BGP A-D and BGP C-multicast routes, different PEs on an MVPN must be able to discover other PEs on the MVPN. The discovery process is called MVPN membership autodiscovery. An NG MVPN uses BGP to implement this process. To support MVPN membership autodiscovery, BGP defines a new BGP-MVPN address family.

On an NG MVPN, a PE can be either a sender or receiver PE. To transmit multicast traffic from multicast sources to multicast receivers, sender PEs must establish BGP MVPN peer relationships with receiver PEs.
