BGP in Huawei SD-WAN

Huawei SD-WAN usesBGP (Border Gateway Protocol) as the primary routing protocolto exchange VPN routes between Customer Premises Equipment (CPEs) and the controller.

✅Why BGP is Used in SD-WAN?

Scalability: BGP can handle a large number of VPN routes.

Policy-Based Routing: BGP allowstraffic engineering and policy controlacross SD-WAN tunnels.

Multiprotocol Support: Huawei SD-WAN usesMP-BGP to exchange IPv4, IPv6, and VPNv4 routes.

There arethree standard inter-AS MPLS VPN options, as per RFC 4364:

Option A (Back-to-Back VRF):

VRFs are directly connected between ASBRs using routing exchange (like static/BGP).

No label switching between ASs —no MPLS label neededbetween ASs.

Option B (EBGP Label Exchange):

ASBRs exchange labeled VPNv4 routes via EBGP.

One MPLS label is required —MPLS forwarding across AS boundaryis used.

Option C (End-to-End LSP):

Full end-to-end LSP is created across ASs.

MPLS labels are definitely usedend-to-end, even between ASs.

Option D (Commonly vendor-specific extensions based on Option B/C):

Similar to Option C —requires MPLS labels.

So:

B. Option B— needs MPLS label✅

D. Option D— also needs MPLS label✅

A. Option A—no MPLS label❌

C. Option C— also uses MPLS label✅, but not listed as an answer option in this question format (should have been).

Assuming valid options areA, B, D, the correct ones needing MPLS labels are:

Correct answers: B, D

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation:

TheOutbound Route Filtering (ORF)function in BGP allows a BGP speaker to inform its peer about the prefixes that it wants to receive, thereby reducing unnecessary route advertisements.

IP Prefix-List (D)is the correct answer because it is used to define the list of prefixes that are sent to the BGP peer during theORF capability negotiation.

Filter-policy (A)andRoute-policy (B)are used for controlling routing information locally or filtering incoming/outgoing routes but do not directly control the number of routes sent using ORF.

ACL (C)is primarily used for packet filtering and is not related to BGP route filtering.
