This presentation by John Meylor at NANOG in 1998 discusses support for native multicast routing and policy-based routing in the inter-domain space, with a focus on protocol variety and topology flexibility.

Objectives: • support for native multicast routing • use of scalable, policy-based routing in inter-domain space • allow for variety of protocols and topologies in intra-domain space
Design elements: • route exchange • BGP or BGP4+ to provide scalable, policy based EGP • tree building/multicast forwarding protocol • PIM to allow for (M)BGP interdomain and IGP intradomain • PIM DM initially (to flood s,g state to collocated RPs) • PIM SM eventually (to reduce flood-prune, requires MSDP)
Design elements: • method for identifying active sources • dense mode flooding of data to establish s,g state • MSDP to flood only SA packets to MSDP peers • media • native broadcast, single packet per source • fddi concentrator commonly used • simple, reasonably common denominator • eliminates variable of switching mechinisms initially
