Abstract

The MEF Forum (MEF) has defined a rooted-multipoint Ethernet serviceknown as Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree). A solution framework for supportingthis service in MPLS networks is described in RFC 7387, "A Framework for Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Service over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Network". This document discusses how thosefunctional requirements can be met with a solution based on RFC 7432,"BGP MPLS Based Ethernet VPN (EVPN)", with some extensions and adescription of how such a solution can offer a more efficientimplementation of these functions than that of RFC 7796,"Ethernet-Tree (E-Tree) Support in Virtual Private LAN Service (VPLS)".This document makes use of the most significant bit of the Tunnel Typefield (in the P-Multicast Service Interface (PMSI) Tunnel attribute)governed by the IANA registry created by RFC 7385; hence, it updatesRFC 7385 accordingly.
