In this topology, you can use either LDP or RSVP-TE to establish an LSP between each
ASBR router and the PE router in an autonomous system. A labeled MP-IBGP session
exists between the ASBR and the PE router in each autonomous system. A labeled
MP-EBGP session exists between the two ASBR routers. The ASBR routers advertise the
loopback IP addresses of their PE routers and associates the prefixes with labels.
When PE 1 learns the PE 2 loopback address and PE 2 learns the PE 1 loopback address,
these PE routers can establish a multihop MP-EBGP session in order to exchange
VPN-IPv4 routes. Because VPN-IPv4 routes are only exchanged between end PE routers,
no other router on the path from PE 1 to PE 2 needs to keep or install VPN routes in its
RIB or FIB.
P 2 learns label L2 for the route to the loopback address on PE 2 by means of LDP
1.
or RSVP-TE from PE 2.
ASBR 2 learns label L3 for the route to the loopback address on PE 2 by means of
2.
LDP or RSVP-TE from P 2.
Each ASBR builds its own MPLS forwarding table with the received and advertised
routes and labels. ASBR 2 uses its own IP address as the next hop.
ASBR 2 uses an MP-EBGP labeled unicast session to advertise label L4 for the route
3.
to the loopback address on PE 2 to neighboring ASBR 1.
ASBR 1 receives this route and the associated label L4.
4.
ASBR 1 assigns label L6 to the route to the loopback address on PE 2 and changes
5.
the next-hop address to its own address.
ASBR 1 then uses an MP-IBGP session to advertise that address to PE 1. PE 1 therefore
6.
has an update with the label information and a next hop to ASBR 1.
P 1 learns label L7 for the route to the loopback address on ASBR 1 by means of LDP
7.
or RSVP-TE from ASBR 1.
