, VPN 1 and VPN 2 can access Site 3 of VPN 1.

PE 3 can receive the VPN-IPv4 routes advertised by PE 1 and PE 2.

PE 1 and PE 2 can receive the VPN-IPv4 routes advertised by PE 3.

Site 1 and Site 3 of VPN 1 can communicate with each other, and Site 2 of VPN 2 and Site 3 of
VPN 1 can communicate with each other.

PE 3 advertises neither the VPN-IPv4 routes received from PE 1 to PE 2, nor the VPN-IPv4 routes received

from PE 2 to PE 1 (that is, routes learned from an iBGP neighbor will not be advertised to any other iBGP

neighbor). Therefore, Site 1 of VPN 1 and Site 2 of VPN 2 cannot communicate with each other.

MPLS L3VPN routing information advertisement

In basic MPLS L3VPN networking, the advertisement of VPN routing information involves CEs and PEs. A

P router maintains only the routes of the backbone and does not need to know any VPN routing

information. A PE maintains only the routing information of the VPNs directly connected to it, rather than

that of all VPNs. Therefore, MPLS L3VPN has excellent scalability.
The VPN routing information of a local CE is advertised in the following phases:

1.

Advertised from the local CE to the ingress PE.

2.

Advertised from the ingress PE to the egress PE.

3.

Advertised from the egress PE to the remote CE.

Then, a route is available between the local CE and the remote CE, and the VPN routing information can

be advertised on the backbone.
The following describes these phases in detail.

Routing information exchange from the local CE to the ingress PE

After establishing an adjacency with the directly connected PE, a CE advertises its VPN routing

information to the PE.
