In Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), a P router or provider router is a label switch router (LSR) that functions as a transit router of the core network. [1] The P router is typically connected to one or more PE routers. Here's one scenario: A customer who has facilities in LA and Atlanta wants to connect these sites over an MPLS VPN ...
The Assigned field contains a number assigned by the service provider. Normally the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) used by the provider's routers only looks at the four-octet IP address, but the BGP Multiprotocol Extensions allow BGP to view the entire 12-octet VPN-IPv4 address, and carry routes from multiple "address families". If the route ...
Locator/ID Separation Protocol (LISP) (RFC 6830) is a "map-and-encapsulate" protocol which is developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force LISP Working Group. [1] The basic idea behind the separation is that the Internet architecture combines two functions, routing locators (where a client is attached to the network) and identifiers (who ...
This is a list of the IP protocol numbers found in the field Protocol of the IPv4 header and the Next Header field of the IPv6 header. It is an identifier for the encapsulated protocol and determines the layout of the data that immediately follows the header. Both fields are eight bits wide.
The link-state ID of the type 1 LSA is the originating router ID. Router-LSAs, describe the following types of interfaces: Point-to-point connection to another router; Connection to a transit network; Connection to a stub network (Reserved in v3) Virtual link; 2 Network-LSAs The DR Originated for broadcasts and NBMA networks by the designated ...
Originated by all routers. The link-state ID of the type 1 LSA is the originating router ID. 2 Network-LSAs Designated router (DR) area-local Originated for broadcasts and NBMA networks by the Designated Router. This LSA contains the list of routers connected to the network.The link-state ID of the type 2 LSA is the IP interface address of the DR.
A provider edge router (PE router) is a router between one network service provider's area and areas administered by other network providers. [1] A network provider is usually an Internet service provider as well (or only that). The term PE router covers equipment capable of a broad range of routing protocols, notably:
A circuit ID is a company-specific identifier assigned to a data or voice network connection between two locations. This connection, often called a circuit, may then be leased to a customer referring to that ID. In this way, the circuit ID is similar to a serial number on any product sold from a retailer to a customer.
