In a service provider MPLS network, the Provider Edge (PE) router plays a crucial role at the edge of the network where customer networks or access networks connect to the service provider’s core network. The PE router serves as the demarcation point between the customer network and the service provider network, providing several key functions. A disaggregated PE router offers flexibility, cost optimization, vendor diversity, scalability, simplified management, interoperability, and enhanced network resilience. It enables service providers to optimize their network infrastructure, adopt innovative technologies, and tailor their routers to meet specific needs efficiently.
