Yugandhar, I may not have seen this whole
thread, so I may not answer the question you have. However, I will say
what I can. 

Since MPLS uses labels and not IP addresses for forwarding traffic, the
actual IP address in the packet has no effect on the underlying network.
If you are running MPLS VPNs you can connect networks using private
addresses (10.x, 192.168.x) over a public network. The private addresses
never are seen by the public network. From this you can see that the
address space (the private network) for Company A and for Company B can
be the same, and each can travel over the same public network with no
conflict between each other or the underlying public network. Hence
"address separation". 

I hope this helps.

Do you mean label space?

Hi all

 

I want to know what it mean by "Address space separation in MPLS".
