Multiple storage customers can be supported on the same MPLS network. Customer 1 cannot see the customer 2 network because there are separate VPN routing/forwarding (VRF) tables for each customer.
Using VRF VPNs
A VRF VPN tunnel is built to provide a secure, managed network between the storage devices. In addition, MPLS VRF VPNs provide distinct advantages for transporting multicast FCIP. VRF VPNs also provide scalability, performance, and stability of the system.
MPLS VPNs use Multiprotocol Border Gateway Protocol
When a VPN route learned from a customer edge (CE) router is injected into BGP, a list of VPN
