I've been going through coursework for CCNP/JNCIP and have been fascinated with MP-BGP Next-Generation Multicast VPNs. Most of the examples and use cases provided in study material are obviously for allowing customer multicast traffic within a L3 MPLS VPN. That is, the provider runs PIM within a VRF, but can then signal through the provider network using MP-BGP.
At work we offer IPTV services to customers and I was curious if NG MVPN would work as a replacement for PIM. That is, would NG MVPN PEs work as designated routers, receiving IGMP membership reports and issuing Type 6/7 NG MVPN join routes? Basically, could you put your multicast domain in a VRF and replace PIM with MP-BGP?
