Abstract

With increase adoption of IP as transport, Service Providers are converging their Voice, data and Video on a single infrastructure. This session will focus on transporting multicast over MPLS unified plane. As part of this session, we would focus on LSM Technology Overview and Applications.

The first part of session will focus on introduction to LSM technology overview, extensions to both mLDP & p2mp-TE to carry multicast traffic across the MPLS core & mechanism to build multicast tree for both P2MP and MP2MP LSP. The latter part of the session will focus on Applications for LSM. In this, we will cover deployment models and protocol selection. By the end of session, we expect audience to understand the technology and make a right choice for the networks.
