This feature is supported on all 7210 SAS platforms as described in this document, except the 7210 SAS-Sx 1/10GE and 7210 SAS-Sx 10/100GE, and platforms operating in access-uplink mode.
P2MP LSPs signaled using RSVP or mLDP is only supported on 7210 SAS-T, 7210 SAS-Mxp, 7210 SAS-R6, and 7210 SAS-R12.
Inter-area RSVP-TE P2MP LSPs are not supported.
The following is a generic description of the P2MP LSPs functionality.
Point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSP allows the source of multicast traffic to forward packets to one or many multicast receivers over a network without requiring a multicast protocol, such as PIM, to be configured in the network core routers. A P2MP LSP tree is established in the control plane which path consists of a head-end node, one or many branch nodes, and the leaf nodes. Packets injected by the head-end node are replicated in the data plane at the branching nodes before they are delivered to the leaf nodes.
