6PE

Scenario
6PE is used to transport IPv6 packets over an IPv4 based MPLS core. This scenario shows the configuration of a PE (R1 in the below diagram). It has an IPv6 eBGP session to a CE and IPv6 iBGP sessions to route reflectors with label-sending turned on for the exchange of 6PE labels. IS-IS is used as the IGP. A standard IPv4 MPLS VRF setup is also configured to show how the two setups can work side by side.
