RE: Consult about draft-behringer-mpls-vpn-auth-02.txt

Hi,

(1) Central services extranet is basically a hub site which imports a bunch
of spoke routes but exports "central service" routes that are imported by
the spokes. Typically the spokes do not have direct connectivity, or
connectivity via the hub.

(2) Distributed extranet is basically the import and export of routes
between different VPNs e.g Enterprise x & y import each others routes.

Hope this helps. Jim
