Route Reflector

As defined in RFC 2547bis, the use of route reflectors is supported in the service provider
core. The support uses multiple sets of route reflectors for different types of BGP data,
including IPv4 and VPN-IPv4.

CE to PE Route Exchange

Routing information between the Customer Edge (CE) and Provider Edge (PE) can be
exchanged by static routes that are configured on the PE.
Route Redistribution
Routing information learned from the configured static routes is injected in the associated
local VPN routing/forwarding table (VRF). In the case of dynamic routing protocols, there
may be protocol-specific route policies that modify or reject certain routes before they are
injected into the local VRF.
The advertisement or redistribution of routing information from the local VRF to or from the
MP-BGP instance is specified per VRF and is controlled by VRF route target associations or
by VRF route policies.
A route belonging to a VPRN must use the protocol owner, VPN-IPv4, to denote that it is a
VPRN route. This can be used within the route policy match criteria.
