This MIB module defines objects describing selective
VRF download. The selective VRF download feature makes
a best effort to download only those prefixes and labels
to a physical entity required to forward traffic through
the physical entity. The feature accomplishes this by
characterizing roles for physical entities baed on their
configuration.
Following terminology is introduced with selective VRF
download feature:
Core Facing A physical entity which has only core
facing interfaces (interfaces that
connect to other Provider/Provider Edge
devices).
Customer Facing A line physical entity which has one or
more customer facing interfaces
(interfaces that connect to Customer
Edge devices in different VRFs).
Local prefix A prefix that is received from a
Customer edge device connected to the
router in a configured VRF context.
Remote prefix A prefix received from another Provider
Edge device and is imported to a
configured VRF.
