MP-BGP VPNv4


  • VRF lite is the USING VRF without MPLS.
  • VRF lite main problem is scalability issue.
  • this scalability problem will be overcomed by "dynamic tunneling"
  • For dynamic tunneling MPLS technology is used.
  • there are remote customers.
  • they were connected via cloud.
  • Remote customers are connected to cloud via Provider edge routers.
  • Provider edger routers are connected with full mesh of label switching routers.
  • These Label switching packets are used for tunneling VPN packets.
  • When packet switching via tunnel between & to reach the customer uses the 2 types of Labels
    • one for switch between 2 provider edge routers(outer label)
    • 2nd one for selecting the correct vrf on outgoing provider edge(inner label)
      • This label is also known as VPN label
  • MPLS label switching routers are unidirectional.
  • MPLS LSR are not used normal IGP protocols.
    • send from source udp port number 646  to destination tcp add 224.0.0.2
