NOTE:
A VPN uniquely corresponds to an MD and an MD provides services for only one VPN, which is
called a one-to-one relationship. Such a relationship exists between VPN, MD, MTI, default-group,
and the data-group range.

PIM neighboring relationships are established between two or more directly interconnected devices
on the same subnet. As shown in
exist in MD VPN:
•
PE-P PIM neighboring relationship—Established between the public network interface on a
PE device and the peer interface on the P device over the link.
•
PE-PE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between PE devices that are in the same
VPN instance after they receive the PIM hello packets.
•
PE-CE PIM neighboring relationship—Established between a PE interface that is bound with
the VPN instance and the peer interface on the CE device over the link.

This section describes default-MDT establishment, multicast traffic delivery based on the
default-MDT, and inter-AS MD VPN implementation.
