Point-to-Multipoint LSP Configuration Guidelines

A point-to-multipoint MPLS LSP is an RSVP LSP with multiple destinations. By taking advantage of the MPLS packet replication capability of the network, point-to-multipoint LSPs avoid unnecessary packet replication at the ingress router.

This chapter discusses the following topics:

• Configuring Primary and Branch LSPs
• Example: Configuring Point-to-Multipoint LSPs
• Configuring Link Protection for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs
• Configuring Graceful Restart for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs
• Configuring a Multicast RPF Check Policy for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs
• Configuring Ingress PE Router Redundancy for Point-to-Multipoint LSPs
• Binding Point-to-Point LSPs to PE Routers and Backup PE Router Groups
• Ensuring Compatibility with JUNOS 9.1 and Earlier Releases for P2MP LSPs
