Supporting multicast over a network domain
Abstract:
Various example embodiments relate generally to supporting Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS)-based multicast over a Bit Index Explicit Replication (BIER) domain. Various example embodiments for supporting MPLS-based multicast over a BIER domain may be configured to support MPLS point-to-multipoint (P2MP) label switched paths (LSPs) over a BIER domain. Various example embodiments for supporting MPLS-based multicast over a BIER domain may be configured to support establishment and transport of P2MP LSPs over a BIER domain (e.g., signaling MPLS via the BIER domain, stitching the MPLS datapath to the BIER domain based on identification of P2MP LSPs within the BIER domain, and so forth).
