Hi !

Please find a new layer. What’s new here is that:
- This layer is built on top of ISIS/LDP layer
- It enables internal BGP into the MAN core network
- Route reflection is enabled on router leh200001(id=2) and uro200001 (id=4)
for iBGP redundancy
- Route reflector, as a pure control plane function is isolated from the data
path and implemented
with freeRtr _VERY_COOL_ feature called VDC (Virtual Device Context) on
router leh200001(id=2) and uro200001 (id=4)

The new layer has been added here:
https://github.com/rare-freertr/validated-design/tree/main/000-man/004a-run-bgp-rr

This layer enable iBGP with RR, MPLS forwarding enabled in order to transform
the MAN into a MPLS service provider core
that can act as small ISP with (limited) partial routing and DCI MAN routers.
MPLS labels are distributed through LDP

… Obviously for both IPv4 and IPv6 AFI !

@David, you can use 004a-run-bgp-rr folder in order to start your BGP
flowspec control plane simulation with FoD or Nemo.

Stay tuned,

All the best
Frederic
