Inter-AS and Multi-Segment P2MP PWs
Inter-AS optons (a), (b) and (c) that are described in VPLS-MCAST are supported by P2MP PWs
A Multi-Segment P2MP PW is equivalent to a segmented inter-AS tree that is described in [VPLS-MCAST], for inter-AS option (b).
In VPLS-MCAST a segmented inter-AS tree for a particular VPLS instance is formed by dynamically stitching intra-AS segments.
A segment of an inter-AS segmented tree is equivalent to a segment of a Multi-Segment P2MP PW.
Procedures that are used in VPLS-MCAST for segmented inter-AS trees are re-used to dynamically stitch segments of a Multi- Segment P2MP PW.
