Re: [irs-discuss] if-map example

As an additional example, the following document describes a schema that can be used to provision a VPN (which is implemented by many PEs as individual VRFs).
http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-marques-l3vpn-schema

The document is still in its early stages.

The problems that can be solved by such a schema is to be able to, for instance:
1) Query the MAP database for all PEs where a specific VPN is present.
2) Ensure that the VRFs associated with a specific VPN consistently implement the same policy.

These are both examples of functionality that spans the network rather than be localized to a specific router/switch/appliance.
