Multicast Extranet with Per-group Mapping for PIM ASM

Multicast extranet with per-group mapping for PIM ASM allows multicast traffic to flow from a source routing instance to a receiver routing instance when a PIM ASM join is received in the receiver routing instance.

Figure 1 depicts PIM ASM extranet map support.

PIM ASM extranet is achieved by local mapping from the receiver to source routing instances on a receiver PE. The mapping allows propagation of anycast RP PIM register messages between the source and receiver routing instances over an auto-created internal extranet interface. This PIM register propagation allows the receiver routing instance to resolve PIM ASM joins to multicast source(s) and to propagate PIM SSM joins over an auto-created extranet interface to the source routing instance. PIM SSM joins are then propagated towards the multicast source within the source routing instance.

The following MVPN topologies are supported:

To achieve the extranet replication, the operator must configure:
