MPLS VPN services


  • connection less service:
    • VPN connection less network don't need the tunnels & encryption for network privacy.
  • Centralized services:
    • VPNs in layer 3 allows the targeted services to  a group of users which are represented by VPN.
  •  Scalability:
  • Security:
    • MPLS VPN offer same level security as connection-oriented VPNs.
  • Easy to create:
    • MPLS VPNs are connection less, no need of specific point-to-point connection maps or topologies are required.
    • So it is easy for customers to create new VPNs & user community.
  • Flexible Addressing:
    • Most of customers use private address spaces.
    • MPLS VPNs allow customers to continue to use their present address space without NAT.
    • A NAT is required only if  2 vpns with overlapping address spaces want to communicate.
    • this enable customer use their own private address in freely in public ip network.
  • Integrated Class of service (COS) support:
    • cos provides performance & policy implementation
VRF contain :

  • ip routing table
  • CEF table
  • set of interfaces that use the cef forwarding table
  • set of rules & routing protocol parameters to control the information in the routing tables
