Which router assigns the VPN label?

  • egress CE
  • P router
  • ingress PE
  • egress PE
  • ingress CE

[alert-success]Explanation: In an MPLS L3 VPN, the egress PE router is responsible for allocating a VPN label for every route it learns from its connected CE routers. This label is then advertised to the ingress PE router via MP-BGP so the ingress PE knows how to identify that specific VPN's traffic upon arrival at the egress point.
