IPv6 over MPLS
Deployment Scenarios

• Many ways to deliver IPv6 services to End Users


Most important is End to End IPv6 traffic forwarding
• Many Service Providers have already deployed
MPLS in their IPv4 backbone for various reasons
MPLS/VPN, MPLS/QoS, MPLS/TE, ATM + IP switching
• MPLS can be used to facilitate IPv6 integration
• Multiple approaches for IPv6 over MPLS:
IPv6 CE-to-CE IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnels
IPv6 over “Circuit_over_MPLS”
Native IPv6 MPLS
IPv6 Provider Edge Router (6PE) over MPLS

• IPv4 or MPLS Core Infrastructure is IPv6-unaware


• PEs are updated to support Dual Stack/6PE
• IPv6 reachability exchanged among 6PEs via iBGP (MP-BGP)
• IPv6 packets transported from 6PE to 6PE inside MPLS

Conclusions

• IPv6 migration does not “need” MPLS …


but, where MPLS is deployed, it enables
attractive approaches for IPv6 migration
• 6PE is Cisco IOS implementation of “BGP
Tunnelling” over MPLS : co-authored by
Cisco : <draft-ietf-ngtrans-bgp-tunnel-04>
• Support of IPv6 VPN over MPLS will be
added in a natural manner
