hello everyone,
I just can not understand what the RD (route distinguisher) means? when we assign
RDs to users, is it a good idea to use the network address assigned to the user as the
RD? Let's take the cisco MPLS-VPN as an example. we assign 1.1.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0
network address to a user, and our, that is to say the ISP's, ASN is 65412, so the RD
we'll assign to the user is
1.1.1.0 : 65412 (network address : ASN)
what about this method to assign RD to user? and in the cisco MPLS-VPN, what does
the other format of RD mean? the format is
16bits integer : 32bits integer
what does it mean and how does it use? and Juniper's JunOS MPLS-VPN what is the
format of the RD?
thank you very much!
