Layer 3 VPN Introduction
In Junos OS, Layer 3 VPNs are based on RFC 4364. RFC 4364 defines a mechanism by
which service providers can use their IP backbones to provide VPN services to their
customers. A Layer 3 VPN is a set of sites that share common routing information and
whose connectivity is controlled by a collection of policies. The sites that make up a
Layer 3 VPN are connected over a provider’s existing public Internet backbone.
