Abstract
Publish-subscribe XML multicast service within a VPN service is described. A backbone such as an IP/MPLS backbone connects multiple subscriber sites using VPN technology and VPN edge routers. XML publish-subscribe modules are addressable within the VPN and form an overlay network between the edge routers participating in the VPN. The XML publish-subscribe modules may perform either topic-based multicast or content-based multicast services. The multicast service is self-managed.
