[Gyan] That is a good way to break it down from PE-CE c-tree c-signaling variations #1 and #2 Provider core p-tree transports PIM/Rosen or mLDP/P2MP TE providing either a-d shared default tree all PEs join Inclusive PMSI /aggregated or selective PMSI data tree constrained to specific ingress and egress source and receiver PEs.  

I wonder if an RFC exist that goes into detail of all the permutations that can exist for MVPN and even PBB EVPN multicast and maybe that may a gap that would be worthwhile effort to fill if one does not exist.  I think from a design perspective it would also help picking the optimal profile MVPN characteristics that meet the customer needs and also help with vendor interoperability.
