Cisco Systems: Configuring Multicast VPN Inter-AS Support

Configuring Multicast VPN Inter-AS Support [Cisco IOS Software] - Cisco Systems
The Multicast VPN Inter-AS Support feature enables Multicast Distribution Trees (MDTs) used for Multicast VPNs (MVPNs) to span multiple autonomous systems. Benefits include increased multicast coverage to customers that require multicast to span multiple service providers in a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Layer 3 Virtual Private Network (VPN) service with the flexibility to support all options described in RFC 4364. Additionally, the Multicast VPN Inter-AS Support feature can be used to consolidate an existing MVPN service with another MVPN service, such as the case with a company merger or acquisition.
