Topology: MPLS VPNs with MPLS-TE Instead of LDP - OSPF Routing Protocols
Written by LBSources from http://www.gns3-labs.com on July 10th, 2008 | 6 CommentsBased on his 2.0 lab, this is v2.5 by the famous Justine White over at Hacki.AT. I will also put toghether the 3.0 lab also. This is a very high CPU intense lab so be warned. I used 3640 routers to minimize the resource taxing.
As per the Justin in the original thread > MPLS VPNs v2.5 with MPLS-TE Instead of LDP
Here’s the version 2.5 of my MPLS lab updated to use MPLS-TE instead of LDP for distribution of labels. There aren’t any other changes over version 2, so the diagrams should be identical. Remember that this version consists of a 6-node MPLS network with a pair of P-core routers that also act as route-reflectors for the PE routers.

A little simpler version - http://innerslaughter.org/2008/11/simple-sitetosite-mpls-vpn-in.html

Nice innerslaughter! Though simpler doesn’t mean better
It’s all about what you want to do .. Thanks again ..

You are absolutely correct, that it is not (by definition) better
However, the whole point is to get the basics down and learn how respective technologies work. I will be doing some more lab posts in the (near?) future, focusing on VPNs and QOS, as I trudge along learning these and other subjects.

Hey .. share your topologies if you’re OK with that.. I’ll do it if you don’t have the time. I love sharing things I find along my way on the path
Thanks!

Here is one more - http://innerslaughter.org/2008/11/sitetosite-atom-frame-relay-dl.html - this time using AToM.
