Cisco ASR 903 Router Design and Deployment Guide▄
Chapter 3 Basic MPLS VPN Configuration
The following diagram will be used to demonstrate VPN configuration. Two customers A and B from three sites
are connected to PEs. On site 2, customer A and B are connected to the same router CE2.

Configuration of OSPF and BFD
OSPF is chosen as IGP protocol and BFD is used to detect link failure for fast convergence. ASR 903 supports
both software and hardware based BFD sessions. When a BFD session is created, depending on the hardware
resources and nature of BFD session, it can be offloaded to hardware. ASR 903 supports maximum 511 no echo
sessions, 255 echo sessions or combination of both in hardware, and 64 x200 ms BFD sessions in software. LDP is
also enabled on both PE routers.
