* The Customer Edge (CE) device is usually assigned to the subscriber site and may be considered as a layer 2 switch or a layer 3 router. This device is the manner in which the Provider Edge (PE) at the service provider’s site communicates with the subscriber. Any type of data link will work between the connection of the CE device and PE device and may be connected to two or more PE routers. When the CE device is a router connected to a PE router, then the term router adjacency is established between the two routers. After this router adjacency is established, the CE router will advertise all of the subscriber site’s local routes to the PE router. The PE router in turn allows the CE router to learn other VPN routes that is directly connected to from the PE router. * The Provider Edge (PE) router connects to the CE device with different types of data links, such as, Frame Relay DCLI, ATM PVC, VLANs, etc. Regardless of the data link they are connected by, the PE routers ensures each of the ports that these data links are coming in on are mapped to a particular table known as a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) table. Therefore the PE port is associated with a particular VRF and the information associated with the incoming data link. The PE router maintains all of the VRFs of the virtual private networks attached to it. The exchange of routing information between the CE device and the PE device may take place using Routing Information Protocol (RIP) version 2, Open Shortest Path First (OSPF), or Exterior Border Gateway Protocol (E-BGP). The PE router is only responsible for maintaining the IPv4 packets and their routes of the CE devices that are actually attached to it. This feature enables the RFC 2547bis operational model to be scalable. The PE router also exchanges VPN routing information with other PE routers using I-BGP, and may use this I-BGP session to maintain connections with Route Reflectors as an alternative to a full mesh of I-BGP sessions.
