This document describes a method by which a Service Provider may use its
packet switched backbone to provide Virtual Private Network services for
its IPv6 customers. This method extends the 'BGP/MPLS VPN' method [2547bis]
for support of IPv6. In BGP/MPLS VPN, 'Multiprotocol BGP' is used for
distributing IPv4 VPN routes over the service provider backbone and MPLS is
used to forward IPv4 VPN packets over the backbone. This document defines
an IPv6 VPN address family and describes the corresponding route
distribution in 'Multiprotocol BGP'. This document defines support of the
IPv6 VPN service over both an IPv4 and an IPv6 backbone, and using various
tunnelling techniques over the core including MPLS, IPsec, IP-in-IP and
GRE.
