[Janel Kratky]

&lt;body&gt;&lt;p&gt;Join us for the next Cisco Knowledge Network (CKN) &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cisco.com/go/iosadvantage" style=&quot;font-size: 13px; color: #0a63a7;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;Cisco TechAdvantage Webinar&lt;/a&gt;, a 60 minutes on NG Multicast VPN (MVPN). Enterprise and SP requirements have evolved significantly in last couple of years. With surge in video, collaboration, content-delivery based applications and geographically dispersed sites, expectations to interact with minimal cost and maximum efficiency has gained tremendous momentum. MVPN is proven model to achieve this without incurring extra capex and opex. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Cisco’s first version of MVPN solution was introduced in the early 2000. It primarily targeted VPN services for enterprises and focused on stability by leveraging proven IP multicast transport with GRE encapsulation. Across core PIM signaling model was used that relied on a LAN-like signaling construct (the Default-MDT or I-PMSI) and optional optimized trees (Data-MDT or S-PMSI). This model is well deployed in different market segments and popularly known as Rosen-model. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Recent enhancements to the MVPN solution introduced new options of “multicast label switch paths” using mLDP and P2MP-RSVP-TE (extensions of LDP and RSVP-TE respectively) to create a consistent forwarding and OAM infrastructure for unicast and multicast streams in the MPLS cloud. BGP was introduced for signaling of I-PMSI and S-PMSI, unifying the control plane operations with IP unicast routing. In-band signaling and Partition model were introduced to support more efficient tree building across MPLS/VPN cores.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Overall these recent enhancements and legacy support are collectively termed as NG-MVPN solution space which provides users the luxury to choose out of supported profiles to suit their requirements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: arial; font-size: 16px; color: #000000;&quot;&gt;Logistics&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Date: &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Wednesday, March 27th&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Time: 8am PST&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;h4 style=&quot;font-size: 16px; padding-top: 21px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: arial; color: #000000; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;Watch the Replay&lt;/h4&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;Go to &lt;a href=&quot;http://tools.cisco.com/gems/cust/customerSite.do?METHOD=W&amp;LANGUAGE_ID=E&amp;PRIORITY_CODE=000112962&amp;SEMINAR_CODE=S17822">Registration Site&lt;/a&gt; and click &lt;span style=&quot;font-size: 12px;&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Register Now.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;font-size: 13px; margin-top: 30px; padding-bottom: 10px; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal; font-family: arial; color: #3f3f3f; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px;&quot;&gt;Send any questions to &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-email-small&quot; href=&quot;mailto:ask_techadvantage@cisco.com&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 13px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; padding-left: 17px; color: #0a63a7; background-position: no-repeat no-repeat;&quot;&gt;ask_techadvantage@cisco.com.&lt;/a&gt;For more information on upcoming Cisco TechAdvantage Webinars, go to: &lt;a class=&quot;jive-link-external-small&quot; href=&quot;http://www.cisco.com/go/techadvantage.com" style=&quot;font-size: 13px; color: #0a63a7;&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;nobr&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 13px;&quot;&gt;http://www.cisco.com/go/techadvantage</span></a>.
