The standard provides for use of such a provider VPN to join discontiguous locations together, preserving the OSPF area and domain behaviour. This document describes a technique for utilising the same, IPVPN network infrastructure without the requirement to enable the OSPF protocol on the PE/CE interface and thus relieve the PE router of OSPF duties.}, }
