System and method for forwarding traffic data in an MPLS VPN

摘要

The present invention provides a system and method for forwarding traffic data in a MPLS VPN network within a telecommunications network. The method comprise a technique for gateway selection in the MPLS VPN by using a combination of recursive floating static routes in the PE routers and conditional route advertisements from the gateway CE routers. This method allows for choice of gateway on a per-PE per-VRF basis.
