Abstract

The BGP-based control procedures for Multicast Virtual PrivateNetworks (MVPNs) make use of a BGP attribute known as the"P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel" attribute. Theattribute contains a one-octet "Flags" field. The purpose of thisdocument is to establish an IANA registry for the assignment of thebits in this field. Since the "Flags" field contains only eightbits, this document also defines a new BGP Extended Community,"Additional PMSI Tunnel Attribute Flags", that can be used to carryadditional flags for the "P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel" attribute. This document updates RFC 6514.
