Hello Jay, just for my understanding: in (b), do you want to say "VPN is both ..." ? I don't see why a 'VRF' requires any BGP/RT/RD. At least not in the way I'm used to use the term VRF. VPNs use VRFs though. Would have connected the term 'VRF' with (c), quite literally as "virtual routing and forwarding". Words ... :-) Regards, Marc On Thu, 28 Jun 2018 20:59:09 +0000, Jia Chen wrote:
Hi All,
A question about FRR way of supporting vrf, multi-instance, or logical router.
A. OSPF/IS-IS multi-instance is a control plane concept, not forwarding B. VRF is both routing and forwarding, for example, L3vpn and EVPN, which uses RT, RD in BGP updates C. Virtual router is a non-VPN instance, which does not require RT, RD
Both B and C, has a one-to-one interface to routing instance mapping.
Are A, B, C all supported by FRR?
Juniper has a logical system (or router), which divided physical router into logical sub-routers. Each logical router has dedicated interface, routing protocols, routing and forwarding table. Are there equivalent in FRR?
Thanks, Jay
