IPv6 over MPLS

Many service providers have already deployed MPLS in their IPv4 backbone for various reasons MPLS can be used to facilitate IPv6 integration Dual stack PE routers accommodating both IPv4 and IPv6 client networks IPv4 or MPLS core infrastructure is IPv6-unaware Benefits from MPLS features such as FRR, TE

IPv6 packets transported from 6PE to 6PE over Label Switch Path
RFC 4798: IPv6 provider edge router (6PE) over MPLS offers global IPv6 connectivity across IP/MPLS backbone (PSN) RFC 4659: IPv6 VPN provider edge (6VPE) over MPLS offers global or VPN IPv6 connectivity across IP/MPLS backbone (PSN)
BGP exchanges external client prefixes, labels, etc.

IPv6prefixes +Label for 6PE VPNv6 prefixes for 6VPE
In both cases backbone runs IPv4 control plane (plus label control for MPLS forwarding used)

Core network (Ps) untouched

no HW/SW upgrade, no configuration change
IPv6 traffic inherits MPLS benefits Each site can be v4-only, v4VPN-only, v4+v6, v4VPN+v6 P routers wont be able to send ICMPv6 messages (TTL expired, traceroute) No VRF configuration

6VPE uses existing IPv4 MPLS infrastructure to provide IPv6 VPN

Core uses IPv4 control plane (LDPv4, TEv4, IGPv4)
PEs must support dual stack IPv4+IPv6 Offers same architectural features as MPLS-VPN for IPv4
RTs, VRFs, RDs are appended to IPv6 to form VPNv6 address MP-BGP distributed both VPN address families BGP NH uses IPv4 to IPv6 mapped address format ::ffff:A.B.C.D
VRF can contain both VPNv4 and VPNv6 routes Solution suitable for IPv6 support to enterprises and government with VPN

6VPE Summary
RFC4659: BGP-MPLS IP Virtual Private Network (VPN) Extension for IPv6 VPN 6VPE simply adds IPv6 support to current IPv4 MPLS VPN offering For end-users: v6-VPN is same as v4-VPN services (QoS, hub and spoke, internet access, etc.) For operators:
Same configuration operation for v4 and v6 VPN No upgrade of IPv4/MPLS core (IPv6 unaware)

6PE Routing/Label Distribution

IGPv4 Advertises Reachability of 200.10.10.1

LDPv4 Binds Label to 200.10.10.1

6PE-2 P1 LDPv4 Binds Label to 200.10.10.1 P2

LDPv4 Binds Implicit-Null (i.e. Pop) to 200.10.10.1
