Who can confirm a concept of MPLS for me ?

Dear All

I am not sure of a concept of MPLS regarding the difference between BGP IPv4 and BGP VPNv4. I am going to tell it below. If I am wrong, please correct me. Thank you.

I think the BGP IPv4 here means a regular BGP IPv4 address system, like IGP ip address system, while BGP VPNv4 is a special address family, which is BGP IPv4 address plus RD(router extinguisher) and is able to handle unique address between PE routers.

Thank you for your fast reply. I noticed the term- "BGP IPv4" when I read a document on MPLS. Can I say "BGP IPv4" is IPv4 as we see in RIP, OSPF, EIGRP etc ?

I think you are right, and i think BGP IPv4 should not be a normal term. In fact, BGP IPv4 is IPv4 per se. That engineer mentioned what is difference between BGP IPv4 and BGP VPNv4. It should be mentioned like this: what is difference between IPv4 and BGP VPNv4. Do you agree ?
