L2VPN – Overview and Basic Configuration
LDP (Martini) and BGP (Kompella) are two L2VPN technologies are supported in Junos. Both L2VPN technologies are used for connectivity of customer attachment circuits across the provider MPLS network. A L2VPN is a point-to-point connection between two PE routers. This type of VPN emulates transparent L2 services for the customers. Normally the L2 attachment circuits […]

RIP – Quick notes
RIP is a distance-vector Interior Gateway Protocol. It calculates the shortest path by evaluating the distance to reach the prefix (vector). The distance used by RIP is the hop count. Routing updates are sent at a regular basis, which is 30 seconds by default. There are two versions of the RIP protocol, where version 2 […]
