Various methods have been discussed & deployed for internet access into VPN. Notably among these are :

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/tech/tk436/tk428/technologies_configu ration_example09186a00801445fb.shtml

- Above method deals with pointing a default route to a global IGW (internet gateway router)

Eventhough it works, it needs the security of a fortress. The not so common, yet deployed across service providers are the combination of :

- IGW with a shared/managed firewall like a netscreen. With this method you (as a SP) host a firewall in the data center, which trunks (DOT1Q/ISL trunk) back into the PE. Have 1 x subinterface per customer/vrf that needs internet access. The firewall then provides internet access.

- Managed CE router with a firewall (per customer VPN), possibly from 2 x sites, and then leak weighted defaults into the VRF.

One of the more suicidal attempt :) was to leak the internet table into the customer VRF...

I believe a combination of NAT & the trunk interface between PE & firewall should cure the issue of overlapping address space you mentioned.

Hi Nick,

That's a good 5000ft overview on MPLS/VPN :).

I'm looking into providing internet access to MPLS/VPN. Has anyone tried

to enable internet access on a MPLS/VPN? Any experience to share?

I think the challenge would be how to provide internet access and MPLS/VPN over a same physical link, especially when the vpn is running on non-unique private IP address.

Rgds, Wei Keong
