DHCP Option 82 in MPLS VPN

[FredZone]

Hi,

I'm not sure that the PE (What is it, PE?) has to know the source VPN of the 
request. Relay agent will intercept the broadcast DHCP request and unicast 
the message to DHCP server(s). When Server(s) replies to the relay agent 
(setted in PE), if it can't determine the VPN destination, it will broadcast 
the DHCP reply (All VPNs will receive the DHCP message and only the DHCP 
client which recognize its own xid will treat the packet).

If Relay Agent Information is activated, it could be used on DHCP replies 
packets to help the relay agent to determine the VPN targeted by the answer 
and forward the answer only on the right one. In this case, that's suppose 
that VPN are seen by PE like Physical Line.

Very interesting case.

Regards.

Fred
