Inter-AS MPLS PW Stitching (labeled-unicast without LDP)

Topology

GNS3 Topology: Inter-AS MPLS Pseudowire between two CPEs using MPLS only, no multi-protocol BGP or VRF's. PE/ASBR routers are 7200 with image c7200-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRE.

All the magic is really happening on the AS boarder routers. Under the BGP configuration for the BGP peering 'neighbor 198.15.0.2 send-label' enabled the distribution of MPLS labels with routes over the EBGP peering. On the interfaces facing each other of the two ASBR's the interface configuration command 'mpls bgp forwarding' enables MPLS frames to be sent and received on an interface that isn't running LDP or RSVP (instead using BGP for the MPLS signalling).
