Abstract
This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use an MPLS enabled IPv4 backbone to provide Virtual Private Networks for its IPv6 customers. This proposal makes use of the method to build network based VPNs described in the Internet draft 'BGP/MPLS VPN' [2547bis]. In BGP/MPLS VPN, MPLS is used to forward packets over the backbone, and 'Multiprotocol BGP' is used for distributing VPN routes over the service provider backbone. This document defines an IPv6 VPN address family and describes the route distribution and the MPLS tunnel selection.
