Abstract:
A data packet from a sub-virtual routing and forwarding (sub-VRF) in a virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) is received. The VRF includes more than one sub-VRF. A value in a Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) attribute attached to the data packet is determined. Based on the value in the BGP attribute, whether to route the data packet to a different sub-VRF in the VRF is determined.
