Abstract:
Many Service Providers offer Virtual Private Network (VPN) services to their
customers, using a technique in which customer edge routers (CE routers) are routing peers of provider
edge routers (PE routers). The Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used to distribute the customer's routes
across the provider's IP backbone network, and Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is used to tunnel customer
packets across the provider's backbone. This is known as a "BGP/MPLS IP VPN". The base specification
for BGP/MPLS IP VPNs presumes that the routing protocol on the interface between a PE router
and a CE router is BGP. This document extends that specification by allowing the routing
protocol on the PE/CE interface to be the Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) protocol.
