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 or 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.
