Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) Over 6vPE

Overview

BVI over 6vPE enables Layer 3 gateway functionality within an IPv6 L3VPN (6vPE) environment by bridging IPv6-capable Layer 2 domains to an MPLS-enabled IPv6 core. A Bridge Virtual Interface (BVI) serves as the logical routed interface that connects a local bridge domain (Layer 2) to the IPv6 VPN routing instance.
