infrastructure

This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use
an MPLS enabled IPv4 backbone to provide VPNs for its IPv6 customers.
This proposal makes use of the method to build network based VPNs
described in the RFC2547-Bis Internet draft [2547Bis]. In BGP/MPLS
VPN, MPLS is used for forwarding packets over the backbone, and BGP
is used for distributing VPN routes over the service provider
backbone. This document proposes to use one of the defined codings
for the Router Distinguisher to support an IPv6 VPN address family.
It defines a coding for the SAFI-field in the case of labeled VPN-
IPv6 routes.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
