Abstract

This document describes a simple way to use OSPF for Provider Edge (PE) router and Customer Edge (CE) router communication in BGP/MPLS VPNs [RFC2547BIS]. [VPN-BGP-OSPF] proposes a complicated way to achieve VPN route propagation as Type-3 LSAs. This document describes the use of multiple instances of OSPF in conjunction with standard BGP/OSPF route redistribution mechanisms to maintain reachability information throughout VPNs. With this mechanism, VPN routes are propagated as Type-5 LSAs.
