System Requirements for Multiprotocol BGP-Based Multicast VPNs:
Next-Generation
To implement multiprotocol BGP-based
multicast VPNs, your system must meet these minimum requirements:
JUNOS Release 9.2 or later for PIM dense mode, bootstrap
router (BSR), auto-RP, and configuration of a PE router as the VPN
C-RP.
JUNOS Release 8.5 or later for point-to-multipoint TE
provider tunnels (next-generation multicast VPN only).
JUNOS Release 8.4 or later.
Any hardware needed in your network to enable your Juniper
Networks routers to act as PE routers.
On M Series and T Series routers, a Tunnel Services PIC
for any provider core router acting as an SP-RP.
On M Series and T Series routers, a Tunnel Services PIC
for any PE router where GRE tunneling is needed.
On M Series and T Series routers, a Tunnel Services PIC
for any CE or PE router acting as a DR or VPN C-RP.
On M Series and T Series routers, a Tunnel Services PIC
is required for GRE tunneling, as specified in Section Two of the
IETF Internet draft Multicast in MPLS/BGP
VPNs.
