PON Advantages

PON Advantages: Shared infrastructure translates to lower cost per customer  minimal number of optical transceivers  feeder fiber and transceiver costs divided by N customers  greenfield per-customer cost similar to UTP [boxads] Passive splitters translate to lower cost can be installed anywhere no power needed essentially unlimited MTBF Fiber data-rates can be upgraded as technology improves … Read more

MPLS VPN Components basic knowledge

MPLS VPN Components:

Today I will discuss about MPLS VPN Components. It is same as MP-BGP Components. only extra Label component are added with MPLS VPN Components. [boxads]

  • RD: Route Distinguisher
  • VPNv4 routes
  • RT: Route Target
  • Label

MPLS VPN Components

VPNv4 address:

  • To convert an IPv4 address into a VPNv4 address, RD is appended to the IPv4 address i.e 1:1:10.1.1.0 Makes the customer’s IPv4 route globally unique.
  • Each VRF must be configured with an RD at the PE. RD is what that defines the VRF   [adsense]

Example:

ip vrf v1
rd 1:1

Virtual Routing and Forwarding basics (VRF)

Virtual Routing and Forwarding basics (VRF):

Today i will discuss about Virtual Routing and Forwarding basics (VRF). VRF is a Layer 3 VPN technique. VRF can be use with or without MPLS.  If we look bellow diagram we see here two VRF one is green VRF and another is blue VRF. [boxads]

Virtual Routing and Forwarding basics (VRF)

Now one question what is VRF ?

  • VRF associates to one or more interfaces on PE.
  • Privatize an interface. [i.e. coloring of the interface in diagram]
  • Has its own routing table and forwarding table (CEF)
  • VRF has its own instance for the routing protocol (static ,RIP,BGP,EIGRP,OSPF)
  • CE router runs standard routing software
  • PE installs the routes, learned from CE routers, in the appropriate VRF routing table(s)
  • Also PE installs the IGP (backbone) routes in the global routing table
  • VPN customers can use overlapping IP addresses.

MPLS VPN Connectivity diagram

MPLS VPN Connectivity diagram:

Today i will discuss about MPLS VPN Connectivity diagram or how a MPLS VPN domain buildup in service provider environment. [boxads]

MPLS VPN domain are consist mainly P & PE router.  P router means provider router, and PE router means provider edge router. P router are only forwarded Level & PE router collect & distribute customer prefixes. If we look bellow diagram we see P & PE router how connected.
