Whether you use Private or Public really does not matter. The provider will create a specific VPN just for you and this will not have any effect on the global routing table of your provider. And even if it did, the whole idea of public networks are address unique to you on the public network so no one besides you should be using it.
Originally before the MPLS VPN came about, you had to use a public address/networks to peer with your provider at layer 3(for example the internet or similar), but by using rfc 2547 VPN, you are allowed to use private networks (like your Frame Relay network) if you want to... So kind of combining the positive features of both layer 2 and layer 3 VPN technology. - Paul Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=64317&t=64036 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
