Title : Network based IP VPN Architecture Using Virtual Routers
Author(s) : H. Ould-Brahim, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-l3vpn-vpn-vr-03.txt
Pages : 24

This document describes a network-based Virtual Private Network
(VPN) architecture using the virtual router (VR) concept. Multiple
VRs can exist in a single physical device. A VR emulates all the
functionality of a physical router, and therefore inherits all
existing mechanisms and tools for configuration, operation,
accounting, and maintenance. Any routing protocol can be used to
distribute VPN reachability information among VRs, and no VPN-
related modifications or extensions are needed to the routing
protocol for achieving VPN reachability. Direct VR-to-VR
connectivity may be configured through layer-2 links or through IP-
or MPLS-based tunnels. Traffic from VRs belonging to different VPNs
may be aggregated over a "backbone VR" network, which greatly
simplifies VPN provisioning. This architecture accommodates various
backbone deployment scenarios, both where the VPN service provider
owns the backbone, and where the VPN service provider obtains
backbone service from one or more other service providers.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
