Feature Overview
Using OSPF in PE-CE Router Connections
In an MPLS VPN configuration, the OSPF protocol is one way you can connect customer edge (CE) routers to service provider edge (PE) routers in the VPN backbone. OSPF is often used by customers that run OSPF as their intrasite routing protocol, subscribe to a VPN service, and want to exchange routing information between their sites using OSPF (during migration or on a permanent basis) over an MPLS VPN backbone.
Figure 1 shows an example of how VPN client sites that run OSPF can connect over an MPLS VPN backbone.
