It depends on the need. If you are a service provider need to deploy an MPLS VPN service across other SPs, then you will need the Multi AS format. If you are giving the service by your own then there is no need to use more than one AS. The main different is that you need to configure your border PE router to advertise prefixes to his IBGP peers with "next hope self" command so they will forward the traffic though it. This because a special behavior of IBGP. -----Original Message----- From: ip dude [mailto:ipdude@cattle-today.com] Sent: Tuesday, August 26, 2003 11:30 PM To: mpls-ops@mplsrc.com Subject: [MPLS-OPS]: single AS versus multi AS MPLS VPN network hello all...would like to procure some feedback from the operational community...here is my question - when implementing a global IP network to provide rfc2547bis type VPNs, is it better to utilize a consolidated (and sole) public AS or multiple public ASs...experience with pros and cons of each solution is very welcome... _____________________________________________________________ Get your own free Ranch eMail and Classified Ads at http://cattletoday.com ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml
