METHOD FOR UPDATING A VIRTUAL PRIVATE NETWORK IN A MULTI-PROTOCOL LABEL SWITCHING NETWORK

摘要

A system and method are disclosed for updating a virtual private network (VPN) in a multi-protocol label switching (MPLS) network. A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a network management system (NMS) having a controller that manages a communications interface coupled to an MPLS network. The controller can be programmed to generate one or more messages conforming to a border gateway protocol (BGP) for updating a VPN operating in the MPLS network.
