Abstract
Different services through Virtual Routing and Forwarding instances (VRFs) are identified without needing a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) label or a Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN) Network Identifier (VNI) by using, for example, different UDP port numbers to identify different connectivity services (e.g., customers, VRFs) when IP-in-IP (also referred to as IP over UDP) is used as a tunneling mechanism (e.g., in the data center).
