MPLS and Segment Routing

Question

Refer to the exhibit. PE1 and PE2 provide backbone carrier support to CSC-CE1 and CSC-CE2. CSC-CE1 and CSC-CE2 provide internet access and interoffice communication for CE1 and CE2, which are located at two different offices of an international corporation. CSC-CE1 and CSC-CE2 were recently moved to different autonomous systems from PE1 and PE2, and they must provide Layer 3 services to CE1 and CE2. Which task must the engineering team perform to allow CE1 and CE2 to continue to communicate through the two service providers?

Options

  • AImplement multicast routing using the BGP MDT address family.
  • BImplement a pseudowire to allow only broadcast traffic to pass between CE1 and CE2.
  • CImplement OSPF end to end and use virtual links to make connections across areas.
  • DImplement Unified MPLS between the CSC and PE routers.

Explanation

In this scenario, the Customer Service Carrier (CSC) routers (CSC-CE1 and CSC-CE2) are now in different Autonomous Systems (AS) from PE1 and PE2. Unified MPLS is the most suitable approach to ensure seamless Layer 3 connectivity between CE1 and CE2 while maintaining scalability and inter-AS communication. Unified MPLS simplifies MPLS configurations across multiple autonomous systems by enabling label distribution and Layer 3 VPN services without extensive reconfiguration or loss of scalability. It allows the CSC routers to establish MPLS LSPs and enables seamless VPN traffic forwarding between PE1 and PE2.
