With Option-C, knowledge from the remote AS is distributed throughout the local AS. This
distribution allows for higher scalability but also requires all PEs and ASBRs involved in the Inter-
AS VPRNs to participate in the exchange of inter-AS routing information.
In Option-C, the ASBRs distribute reachability information for remote PE's system IP addresses
only. This is done between the ASBRs by exchanging MP-eBGP labeled routes, using RFC 3107,
Carrying Label Information in BGP-4 .
Distribution of VPRN routing information is handled by either direct MP-BGP peering between
PEs in the different ASNs or more likely by one or more route reflectors in ASN.
