[c-nsp] Policy-based routing versus vrf

[Alex Foster]

Can VRF be configured without the associations of VLANs or VPNs or is
this integral to the whole VRF function.

Regards

Alex

Hi

Personally I would go with vrfs as this creates a virtual router for
each customer, allowing overlapping address spaces etc.  Each vrf has
an individual routing table and is treated completely separately.  If
you don't go through vrfs and use pbr then you will end up tying
yourself in too many knots.
