MPLS VPN: Load Balancing Support for Inter-AS
and CSC VPNs
Load sharing distributes traffic so that no individual router is overburdened. In a Multiprotocol Label
Switching (MPLS) Virtual Private Network (VPN) network, you can achieve load sharing through the
following methods:
•
BGP multipath options
•
Directly connected loopback peering
This feature is available for both MPLS VPN Carrier Supporting Carrier and Interautonomous system
configurations.
