Title: RE: nat at the PE

The ability to apply IP Services (e.g. NAT, encryption, routing protocols, etc)
at the VRF level will be key to the future of MPLS.  CoSine supports full 2547bis
functionality through a "super" VRF which additionaly can apply a full suite of
IP Services to the individual customer's data streams.  Best of all, by leveraging
all its computing power, each CoSine switch can host thousands of these fully
functional, independent VRFs.

Hope this helps your search.

We have been asking Cisco for this functionality for more than a year.  As
far as we can ascertain it is not even on the roadmap for IOS.  We have had
no luck in getting Cisco to implement this.

Subject: nat at the PE

Hi guys,

   I'm doing some testing about nat in the mpls vpn .I assumed the ISP want
to provide internet access to their VPN customers only, with Closed User
Group, there can be a public ip address segment that every VPN can access
it. Due to IP address issue, NAT is needed somewhere in this public segment
for each VPN. Can PE do this nat function?Or I have to use CE or one
external NAT box.

Best regards,
alfred zhang
