Service Control MPLS/VPN Requirements
Limitations
Mutually exclusive system modes
When the system works in MPLS/VPN mode, the following modes are not supported:
•
•
•
•
Number of MPLS labels
•
•
•
Subscriber-related limitations
The following subscriber-related limitations exist in the current solution:
•
•
•
•
Topology-related limitations
•
TCP related requirements
•
Cisco SCE 2000 and SCE 1000 Software Configuration Guide
13-10
The following tunneling modes:
–
MPLS traffic engineering skip
MPLS VPN skip
–
L2TP skip
–
VLAN symmetric classify
–
TCP Bypass-establishment
DDoS
Value Added Services (VAS) mode
The choice of the unique VPN site must be based on the BGP label only. The BGP label must be the
innermost label.
The MPLS/VPN solution supports various combinations of labels. See Additional MPLS Pattern
Support.
The system does not support VPNs for which other MPLS-related features, such as MPLS-TE or
MPLS-FRR, are enabled.
The SM must be configured to operate in Push mode.
VLAN-based subscribers cannot be used.
Introduced subscriber aging is not supported when using VPN-based subscribers.
Maximum number of VPN-based mappings per single subscriber:
–
200 (standalone)
–
50 (cascade)
An asymmetrical routing topology in which the traffic may be unidirectional, is not supported, since
the MPLS/VPN solution relies on the bidirectional nature of the traffic for various mechanisms.
Number of Upstream TCP Flows – There must be enough TCP flows opening from the subscriber
side on each PE-PE route in each period of time. The higher the rate of TCP flows from the
subscriber side, the higher the accuracy of the mechanism can be.
