Configuring Remote Access to MPLS VPN
Access Technologies
The Cisco 10000 series router supports routed bridge encapsulation (RBE) protocol. Point-to-point
protocol (PPP) access-based permanent virtual circuits (PVCs) is supported by using the following
PPP access encapsulation methods:
•
•
By using these PPP access technologies, the Cisco 10000 series router can terminate up to 32,000
sessions and support many features, including:
•
•
•
The Cisco 10000 series router can terminate up to 32,000 ATM RBE sessions.

In the figure, the service provider operates an MPLS VPN that interconnects all customer sites. The
service provider's core network is an MPLS backbone with VPN service capability. The service provider
provides all remote access operations to its customer. The network side interfaces are tagged interfaces,
logically separated into multiple VPNs.
