EXTERANET IP-VPN SERVICE PROVINDING METHODE IN MPLS BASED NETWORK

摘要

PURPOSE: A method for supplying an extranet IP-VPN(Virtual Private Network) service in an MPLS(Multi Protocol Label Switching)-based network is provided to simply support the extranet service, and to assign more than one RD(Route Descriptor) for the same interface, thereby simultaneously supporting an intranet service and the extranet service. CONSTITUTION: When path information is added(231), a CE(Customer Edge)1(121) transmits the path information to a PE(Provider Edge)1(111)(232). The PE1(111) retrieves an RD, and decides whether a VPN_intra1 is connected with a VPN_extra2(233), then distributes path update information to BGP peers(234). The path update message is reflected on a VPN_extra2 table of a PE3(113)(235). The PE3(113) transmits the path information to a CE3(123)(236), and modifies route information(237). The received information is reflected on a VPN_extra2 table of a PE4(114)(239). The PE4(114) transmits the path information to a CE4(124)(240).
