IPv6 over MPLS – 6PE/6VPE

IPv6 over MPLS

We have a standard MPLS service provider network running with IPv4 IGP, LDP and MP-BGP. Now we want to connect customer’s IPv6 sites over MPLS service provider network. One option is to run IPv6 IGP, LDPv6 (LDP for IPv6 routes) and MP-BGP in service provider network. Currently LDPv6 is in draft stage.

Another approach is to maintain the MPLS network as it stands, but implement mechanisms on the PE routers that allow to transport IPv6 packets as normal labeled packets on the P routers. This is exactly what the 6PE and 6VPE solutions do.

Both 6PE and 6VPE exploit the fact that as long as a packet somehow can be forwarded along an LSP from ingress to egress PE, P routers do not care about anything but the transport label. When using a BGP route in an IPv4 MPLS VPN (or just IPv4 over MPLS), the top label is found by looking at the BGP next hop of the route. The ingress looks at this IPv4 next hop, finds the label associated with it, and by using this label, the packet will be forwarded to the egress PE.

The difference between 6PE and 6VPE is whether the IPv6 routes are in the global routing table or in VRFs. 6PE serves the same role as plain IPv4 over MPLS, and 6VPE is the equivalent of an MPLS VPN.

6PE Design
  • 6PE is defined in RFC4798
  • Service provider network is with IPv4 IGP, LDP and MP-BGP
  • Service provider core (P Routers) is BGP free and not running IPv6
  • PE routers are dual stack, running both IPv4 and IPv6
  • PE routers stores IPv6 routing information in global routing table from all IPv6 customers
6VPE Design
  • 6VPE is defined in RFC4659
  • Service provider network is with IPv4 IGP, LDP and MP-BGP
  • Service provider core is BGP free and not running IPv4
  • PE routers are dual stack, running both IPv4 and IPv6
  • PE routers stores IPv6 routing information in separate VRF for each IPv6 customer, providing MPLS VPN for IPv6

We will use following network topology to configure 6PE and 6VPE.

6PE Configuration
When using 6PE, a CE router is connected to an interface on the PE router, which is in the global IPv6 routing table. There is an MPLS network with BGP, an IGP and LDP between PE routers. The IGP and LDP only needs to be IPv4 capable. However, the BGP session need to be activated for the IPv6 unicast address family to make it possible to advertise IPv6 prefixes from PE to PE. Additionally, BGP needs to attach a label to each IPv6 prefix with the ‘send label’ command.

The PE1 router will receive IPv6 routes with a label and a next hop of ::FFFF:10.1.0.2. This next hop is an “IPv4-mapped IPv6 address” and it tells the router that if it were to use that IPv6 BGP route, it should use the transport label for the IPv4 address 10.1.0.2.

Similarly, PE2 router will receive IPv6 routes with a label and a next hop of ::FFFF:10.1.0.1.
