PTA to VRF Architectural Model
In this model, the Cisco 10000 series router terminates the sessions and places the sessions in the
appropriate VRF. This model is identical to the one in
Figure 1-3
on the access side. However, the two
models differ on the network side. The model in
Figure 1-2
uses VRFs, does not use a tag interface on
the network side, and separates traffic at Layer 2. The
“PTA to MPLS VPN Architectural Model”
in
Figure 1-3
uses MPLS and a tag interface, and separates traffic at Layer 3.
PTA to Multiprotocol Label Switching Virtual Private Network Architecture
Figure 1-3
shows a MPLS VPN model for PPPoA or PPPoE sessions.
