Abstract:
When BGP is used to distribute a particular route, it can also be
used to distribute an MPLS label which is mapped to that route. In
some cases, for example, when L3VPN is used to access and connect to
virtual networks in data centers, there may be 16 millions of VPN
instances on a router. In order to map MPLS labels to VPN instances,
big labels are required. This document specifies the method to carry
and distribute such big labels by piggybacking the big label mapping
information for an IP route in the BGP Update message that is used to
distribute the route itself.
