Inter-AS and inter-area solutions

ANYsec LSPs support a single-area solution only. ANYsec does not support inter-AS or inter-area option B or option C (for example, seamless MPLS).

ANYsec supports inter-AS or inter-area option A with the following conditions:

  • The termination of the ANYsec LSP is at the ABR or ASBR router.
  • Another ANYsec LSP originates toward the other inter-AS or inter-area option A.

In addition, ANYsec does not support tunnels within tunnels. For example, an ANYsec LSP that is encrypted cannot be encapsulated in a second MPLS tunnel such as BGP LU, RSVP-TE, or LDP.
