Multiprotocol BGP (MBGP) [10]<br />

Extends BGP to enable multicast routing policy, thus it connects multicast<br />

topologies within and between BGP autonomous systems<br />

Add two new (optional and non-transitive) attributes:<br />

• Multiprotocol Reachable NLRI (MP_REACH_NLRI)<br />

• Multiprotocol Unreachable NLRI (MP_UNREACH_NLRI)<br />

As these are optional and non-transitive attributes - routers which do not support<br />

these attributes ignore then and don’t pass them on.<br />

Thus MBGP allows the exchange of multicast routing in<strong>for</strong>mation, but one must<br />

still use PIM to build the distribution tree to actually <strong>for</strong>ward the traffic!<br />
