Cisco CRS Series - Summary of Supported MVPN Profiles

MLDP In-band signalling supports transiting PIM (S,G) or (*,G) trees across a MPLS core without the need
for an out-of-band protocol. In-band signaling is only supported for shared-tree-only forwarding (also known
as sparse-mode threshold infinity). PIM Sparse-mode behavior is not supported (switching from (*,G) to
(S,G).
The details of the MLDP profiles are discussed in the Cisco IOS XR Multicast Configuration Guide for the
Cisco CRS Router
