Hi Rene and team,
Could you please what is the difference between MPLS L2VPN and MPLS L3 VPN.
i read articles on MPLS L3VPN, but specifically i could not get MPLS L2VPN.
Request you to explain MPLS L2 VPN use cases and with Topology with configuration.
in terms of P2P seudowire and P2MP Seudowire.
Thanks,
Rahul
Hello Rahul,
MPLS L3 VPN means the service provider participates in customer routing. For example, take a look at these lessons:
For a high level overview, take a look at this lesson:
https://networklessons.com/mpls/mpls-layer-3-vpn-explained
Between the PE (provider) and CE (customer) routers we run a routing protocol like OSPF, EIGRP, RIP, or BGP.
With MPLS L2 VPN, we don’t do routing between the PE and CE routers. We transport a L2 protocol like Ethernet or frame-relay, over the MPLS network. To the customer, the MPLS network is transparent and to them, it seems like a regular L2 link. Here is an example:

I hope this helps!
