Abstract
The Provisioning of VPN based on Layer 2 circuits across MPLS-base network has been described in draft-kompella-mpls-l2vpn-02.txt. The draft describes how provider's edge routers distribute configured VPN information amongst themselves. This information is then processed to map layer 2 circuits of customer's edge devices to remote customer devices of the same VPN through MPLS cloud via adjoining provider's edge devices. The proposal requires a priori guestimating of customer's growth needs for the VPN and accordingly over provisioning of a contiguous set of (preferably per platform) MPLS labels.
