Putting It Together: An MPLS/BGP VPN Example
At this point, we've examined each piece of the puzzle—BGP for signaling and MPLS for forwarding—and discussed how they are used together. To make these concepts clear, we'll provide an example of how an PMLS/BGP VPN would actually be configured and deployed in the real world.

There are three VPNs defined in this network:
