Abstract:
This document specifies encoding and encapsulation methods for MPLS
big labels. Big labels are required for accessing virtual networks
in data centers by using, for example, BGP/MPLS IP VPNs. Data center
virtualization encapsulation methods and protocols such as VXLAN,
NVGRE and NVO3 are being standardized to support a few millions of
virtual networks, but the currently label format can support up to
one million of labels. When the BGP/MPLS IP VPN method, for example,
is used by an enterprise/customer to access its corresponding virtual
networks, more than one million of labels are required to map VPN
labels and Virtual Network Identifiers.
