		is set (in addition to v2), then the IE flag <bcp14>MUST</bcp14>
		indicate "exclude". If not, then an error <bcp14>SHOULD</bcp14> be lo

		<li>When a PE receives a list of EVPN SMET NLRIs in its BGP update
		message, each with a different source IP address and the same
		Multicast Group Address, and the version flag is set to v3, then the
		PE generates an IGMPv3 Membership Report with a record corresponding

		the proper indication of inclusion/exclusion.
		</li>
		<li>Upon receiving an EVPN SMET route(s) and before generating the
		corresponding IGMP Membership Request(s), the PE checks to see whethe
		r it has a
		Customer Edge (CE) multicast router for that BD on any of its ESs . T
		he PE provides
		such a check by listening for PIM Hello messages on that AC, i.e.,
		(ES,BD). If the PE does have the router's ACs, then the generated
		IGMP Membership Request(s) is sent to those ACs. If it doesn't have a
		ny of the
		router's ACs, then no IGMP Membership Request(s) needs to be generate
		d. This is
		because sending IGMP Membership Requests to other hosts can result in
		unintentionally preventing a host from joining a specific multicast
		group using IGMPv2, i.e., if the PE does not receive a Membership Rep
		ort from the
		host, it will not forward multicast data to it. Per <xref target="RFC
		4541"
		format="default"/> , when an
		IGMPv2 host receives a Membership Report for a group address that it
		intends to join, the host will suppress its own Membership Report for
		the same group, and if the PE does not receive an IGMP Membership Rep
		ort from the host,
		it will not forward multicast data to it. In other words, an IGMPv2
		Membership Report <bcp14>MUST NOT</bcp14> be sent on an AC that does
		not lead to a CE
		multicast router. This message suppression is a requirement for IGMPv
		2 hosts.
		This is not a problem for hosts running IGMPv3, because there is no
		suppression of IGMP Membership Reports.

	The goal of IGMP and MLD proxying is to make th
	e EVPN behave seamlessly for
	the tenant systems with respect to multicast o
	perations, while using a more
	efficient delivery system for signaling and de
	livery across the VPN.
	Accordingly, group state must be tracked synch
	ronously among the PEs
	serving the VPN, with join and leave events pr
	opagated to the peer PEs, and
	each PE tracking the state of each of its peer
	PEs with respect whether
	there are locally attached group members (and
	in some cases, senders), what
	version(s) of IGMP/MLD are in use for those lo
	cally attached group members,
	etc. In order to perform this translation, ea
	ch PE acts as an IGMP router
	for the locally attached domain, and maintains
	the requisite state on
	locally attached nodes, sends periodic members
	hip queries, etc. The role
	of EVPN SMET route propagation is to ensure th
	at each PE's local state is
	propagated to the other PEs so that they share
	a consistent view of the
	overall IGMP Membership Request and Leave Grou
	p state. It is important to
	note that the need to keep such local state ca
	n be triggered by either
	local IGMP traffic or BGP EVPN signaling. In
	most cases a local IGMP event
	will need to be signaled over EVPN, though sta
	te initiated by received EVPN
	traffic will not always need to be relayed to
	the locally attached domain.

	<section title="Proxy Reporting">
	<t>
	When IGMP protocol is used between hosts and th

	router (EVPN PE), Proxy-reporting is used by th
	e EVPN PE to summarize
	(when possible) reports received from downstrea
	m hosts and propagate
	them in BGP to other PEs that are interested in
	the information. This
	is done by terminating the IGMP Reports in the
	first hop PE, and
	translating and exchanging the relevant informa
	tion among EVPN BGP
	speakers. The information is again translated b
	ack to IGMP message at
	the recipient EVPN speaker. Thus it helps creat
	e an IGMP overlay
	subnet using BGP. In order to facilitate such a
	n overlay, this
	document also defines a new EVPN route type NLR

	MUST be sent along wit

	N-based
	service or EVI,VLAN in case of VLAN-aware bundle service)
	. PE3
	reconstructs the IGMPv2 Membership Report from this EVPN
	BGP route and only
	sends it to the port(s) with multicast routers attached t
	o it (for

	Membership Report for (*,G1) only to R1. Furthermore, ev

	Group type bit MUST be ignored if bit 5 is not
	set.
	</t>
	<t>
	This EVPN route type is used to carry tenant I
	GMP multicast group
	information. The flag field assists in distrib
	uting IGMP Membership
	Report of a given host for a given multicast r
	oute. The version
	bits help associate IGMP version of receivers
	participating within
	the EVPN domain.

	The include/exclude (IE) bit helps in creating

	multicast route.
	</t>
	<t>
	If route is used for IPv6 (MLD) then bit 7 ind
	icates support for MLD
	version 1. The second least significant bit, b
	it 6 indicates support
	for MLD version 2. Since there is no MLD versi
	on 3, in case of IPv6
	route third least significant bit MUST be 0. I
	n case of IPv6 routes,
	the fourth least significant bit MUST be ignor

	<section title="Constructing the Selective Multicast Ethernet Tag ro
	ute">
	<t>
	This section describes the procedures used to constr
	uct the Selective
	Multicast Ethernet Tag (SMET) route.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Route Distinguisher (RD) SHOULD be a Type
	1 RD <xref target="RFC4364"/>. The
	value field comprises an IP address of the PE
	(typically, the
	loopback address) followed by a number unique
	to the PE.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Ethernet Tag ID MUST be set as procedure defined
	in <xref target="RFC7432"/>.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Multicast Source Length MUST be set to le
	ngth of the multicast
	Source address in bits. If the Multicast Sour
	ce Address field
	contains an IPv4 address, then the value of t
	he Multicast Source
	Length field is 32. If the Multicast Source A
	ddress field contains an
	IPv6 address, then the value of the Multicast
	Source Length field is
	128. In case of a (*,G) Membership Report, th
	e Multicast Source Length is set to
	0.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Multicast Source Address is the source IP
	address from the IGMP
	Membership Report. In case of a (*,G), this f
	ield is not used.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Multicast Group Length MUST be set to length
	of multicast group
	address in bits. If the Multicast Group Address
	field contains an
	IPv4 address, then the value of the Multicast Gr
	oup Length field is
	32. If the Multicast Group Address field contai
	ns an IPv6 address,
	then the value of the Multicast Group Length fie
	ld is 128.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Multicast Group Address is the Group address
	from the IGMP or MLD
	Membership Report.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Originator Router Length is the length of th
	e Originator Router
	Address in bits.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Originator Router Address is the IP addre
	ss of router originating this route.
	The SMET Originator Router IP address MUST ma
	tch that of the IMET (or S-PMSI AD)
	route originated for the same EVI by the same
	downstream PE.
	</t>

	<t>
	The Flags field indicates the version of IGMP
	protocol from which the
	Membership Report was received. It also indic
	ates whether the
	multicast group had the INCLUDE or EXCLUDE bi
	t set.
	</t>
	<t> Reserved bits MUST be set to 0. They can be defined
	in future by other document.
	</t>

	<t>
	IGMP is used to receive group membership info
	rmation from hosts
	by TORs. Upon receiving the hosts expression
	of interest of a
	particular group membership, this information
	is then forwarded using
	SMET route. The NLRI also keeps track
	of receiver's IGMP protocol version and any s
	ource filtering for a
	given group membership. All EVPN SMET routes
	are announced with per-
	EVI Route Target extended communities.

	</t>
	<t> If flag bit 6 is set, it translates Membership repo
	rt to be IGMP V2 or MLD V2.

	The 'Multicast Flags' extended community is a
	new EVPN extended
	community. EVPN extended communities are tra
	nsitive extended
	communities with a Type field value of 6. IA
	NA will assign a Sub-Type
	from the 'EVPN Extended Community Sub-Types'
	registry.

	A PE that supports IGMP and/or MLD Proxy on a gi
	ven BD
	MUST attach this extended community to the IMET
	route it advertises
	advertises for that BD and it MUST set the IGMP
	and/or MLD Proxy
	Support flags to 1. Note that an <xref target="R
	FC7432"/> compliant PE will not advertise this
	extended community so its absence indicates that
	the advertising PE
	does not support either IGMP or MLD Proxy.
	</t>

	<t>
	The advertisement of this extended community enab
	les more efficient
	multicast tunnel setup from the source PE special
	ly for ingress
	replication - i.e., if an egress PE supports IGMP
	proxy but doesn't
	have any interest in a given (x,G), it advertises
	its IGMP proxy
	capability using this extended community but it d
	oes not advertise
	any SMET route for that (x,G). When the source PE
	(ingress PE)
	receives such advertisements from the egress PE,
	it does not
	replicate the multicast traffic to that egress PE
	; however, it does
	replicate the multicast traffic to the egress PEs
	that don't
	advertise such capability even if they don't have

	<t>
	In EVPN, every EVI is associated with one
	or more Route Targets
	(RTs). These Route Targets serve two fun
	ctions:
	<list style="numbers">
	<t>
	Distribution control: RTs
	control the distribution of the
	routes. If a route carri
	es the RT associated with a particular
	EVI, it will be distribu
	ted to all the PEs on which that EVI
	exists.
	</t>
	<t>
	EVI identification: O
	nce a route has been received by a
	particular PE, the RT
	is used to identify the EVI to which it
	applies.
	</t>
	</list>

	</t>

	<t>
	An IGMP Membership Report Synch or IGMP L
	eave Synch route is associated with a
	particular combination of ES and EVI. T
	hese routes need to be
	distributed only to PEs that are attache
	d to the associated ES.
	Therefore these routes carry the ES-Imp
	ort RT for that ES.
	</t>

	<t>
	Since an IGMP Membership Report Synch or I
	GMP Leave Synch route does not need
	to be distributed to all the PEs on which
	the associated EVI
	exists, these routes cannot carry the RT a
	ssociated with that
	EVI. Therefore, when such a route arrives
	at a particular PE, the
	route's RTs cannot be used to identify the
	EVI to which the route
	applies. Some other means of associating
	the route with an EVI
	must be used.
	</t>

	<t>
	This document specifies four new Extended Comm
	unities (EC) that
	can be used to identify the EVI with which a
	route is associated,
	but which do not have any effect on the distr

	Each IGMP Membership Report Synch or IGMP Leave S

	esult of having
	received an IGMP Membership Report or an IGMP Lea
	ve message from a particular
	BD. The route is said to be associated with that
	BD.
	For each BD, there is a corresponding RT that is
