MPLS 6PE is an IPv6 transition method that enables IPv6-only sites to be connected across an IPv4-only MPLS network. With this technology Service Providers can use existing IPv4 MPLS networks to connect IPv6-only sites. With MPLS 6PE dual stack IPv4/IPv6 PE routers are configured ...
MPLS 6VPE enables connecting IPv6-only sites using an IPv4 MPLS network. This makes MPLS 6VPE an IPv6 transition method that leverages existing infrastructure to tunnel IPv6 traffic with label switching. As a result, Service Providers can use their IPv4 MPLS core networks to provide IPv6 services ...
6to4 tunneling is a transition mechanism from IPv4 to IPv6 that enables IPv6-only sites to communicate with each other over an IPv4-only network. The prefix 2002:: /16 is used for 6to4 tunnels. IPv4 addresses are mapped to IPv6 and assigned to the tunnel interface. A 6to4 tunnel has an IPv4 source address ...
DMVPN IPv6 can be configured across an IPv4-only transport network to provide connectivity between IPv6 locations. DMVPN IPv6 uses multipoint GRE tunnels to encapsulate IPv6 packets. Thus, a GRE header encapsulates IPv6 packets. In turn, an IPv4 header is used to encapsulate the GRE packet ...
A combination of relatively recent technology standards can be deployed to provision MPLS-based Layer-3 IP VPN services. Namely, Segment Routing can be configured as a transport service together with EVPN IRB to deploy Service Provider Layer-2 and Layer-3 VPNs using a unified BGP control plane ...
EIGRP OTP enables the creation of an overlay network between Customer Edge (CE) routers by using the LISP encapsulation. As a WAN technology connecting customer sites across one or more Service Providers (SP), EIGRP OTP offers a flexible mechanism to maintain control over IP routing ...
Running mission-critical applications in an enterprise headquarters and connecting large office buildings to a corporate WAN justify a redundant, high-availability infrastructure. With an MPLS Layer-3 VPN there are a variety of redundancy options ...
Carrier Supporting Carrier is a hierarchical MPLS VPN architecture where a Backbone Carrier provides transit services to a Customer Carrier. In such a design an MPLS VPN service is provisioned by the Backbone Carrier to be used by the Customer Carrier for its own MPLS VPN ...
