The routing requirements for PE-routers also extend to supporting Internet<br />
connectivity - PE-routers have to exchange Internet routes with other PE-routers.<br />
The CE-routers cannot participate in Internet routing if the Internet routing is<br />
performed in global address space. The P-routers could participate in Internet<br />
routing, however, you should disable Internet routing on the P-routers to make<br />
your network core more stable (please see the design guidelines in Core <strong>MPLS</strong><br />
<strong>Technology</strong> module for more details).<br />
