Re: Provider WAAS service for multiple MPLS VPN customers, possible?
Hi there, Just want to know if anybody out there has tried to put a pair of Cisco WAAS cards on two PEs to optimize the traffic of multiple VRFs between them ? Is that actually possible ? If it's possible, how does the WAAS module card forward the optimized traffic back to the correct VRF? Any hints or sample configurations are most appreciated. Frank.
I have never done it between MPLS like what you are referring to, but for the best optimization you will need edge WAE units on each end of the connection. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Frank Ho" <completearch@gmail.com> To: nanog@nanog.org Sent: Monday, February 27, 2012 11:04:35 AM Subject: Re: Provider WAAS service for multiple MPLS VPN customers, possible?

Theoretically if both WAEs are placed inline on MPLS uplink, then it should work -- unless WAAS code can only recognize IP/Ethernet but not IP/MPLS/Ethernet traffic. I don't think WAAS is VRF aware and can maintain a multi-VRF routing table. On Mon, Feb 27, 2012 at 8:04 AM, Frank Ho <completearch@gmail.com> wrote:
