Abstract:

   This document specifies a BGP address family and related procedures
   that allow BGP to be used for setting up multicast distribution
   trees.  This document also specifies procedures that enable BGP to be
   used for multicast source discovery, and for showing interest in
   receiving particular multicast flows.  Taken together, these
   procedures allow BGP to be used as a replacement for other multicast
   routing protocols, such as PIM or mLDP.  The BGP procedures specified
   here are based on the BGP multicast procedures that were originally
   designed for use by providers of Multicast Virtual Private Network
   service.

   This document also describes how various signaling mechanisms can be
   used to set up end-to-end inter-region multicast trees.
