Systems and methods for an extranet multicast virtual private network in a virtual routing and forwarding based customer edge device

An information handling system comprising:

• a provider device;
• a plurality of host devices;
• a network device coupled to each of the plurality of host devices and the provider device, wherein the network device is configured to:
• provide a plurality of subscribing virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances, wherein each of the plurality of subscribing VRF instances is associated with a respective subset of the plurality of host devices;
• receive a single multicast stream from the provider device;
• replicate the single multicast stream to provide a plurality of replicated multicast streams;
• and
• provide each of the plurality of replicated multicast streams through a respective one of the plurality of subscribing VRF instances to a respective subset of the plurality of host devices associated with that respective one of the plurality of subscribing VRF instances.

A method for providing a multicast stream, comprising:

• providing, in a network device, a plurality of subscribing virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instances that are each associated with a respective subset of a plurality of host devices;
• receiving, at the network device, a single multicast stream from a provider device;
• replicating, by the network device, the single multicast stream to provide a plurality of replicated multicast streams;
• and
• providing, by the network device, each of the plurality of replicated multicast streams through a respective one of the plurality of subscribing VRF instances to the respective subset of the plurality of host device associated with that respective one of the plurality of subscribing VRF instances.
