Extranet Service Model (1)
MVPN extranet refers to the ability for multicast sources
in one VPN to send multicast traffic to multicast receivers
in other VPN(s).
Specifically (see Section 5.1.6 of RFC4834): “it MUST be
possible to configure a VRF so that:
receivers behind attached CEs can receive multicast traffic
sourced in the configured set of extranet VPNs
sources behind attached CEs can reach multicast traffic
receivers located in the configured set of extranet VPNs
Such multicast sources are referred to as extranet
sources
The multicast groups for which the extranet sources
generate traffic are referred to as extranet groups
The receivers that receive traffic from extranet sources
are referred to as extranet receivers
