Many service providers offer "BGP/MPLS IP VPN" service to their
customers.  Existing IETF standards specify the procedures and
protocols that a service provider uses in order to offer this service
to customers who have IP unicast and IP multicast traffic in their
VPNs.  It is also desirable to be able to support customers who have
MPLS multicast traffic in their VPNs.  This document specifies the
procedures and protocol extensions that are needed to support
customers who use the Multipoint LDP (mLDP) as the control protocol for 
their MPLS multicast traffic.  Existing standards do provide some support 
for customers who use mLDP, but only under a restrictive set of 
circumstances.  This document generalizes the existing support to include 
all cases where the customer uses mLDP, without any restrictions.  This
document updates RFC 6514.

This document is a product of the BGP Enabled Services Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard.

STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track
protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this 
memo is unlimited.
