In virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) technology, a route distinguisher (RD) and a route target (RT) are used to identify and differentiate VRF instances within a device. A route distinguisher (RD) is a unique identifier assigned to each VRF instance. It is used to distinguish between different VRF instances when a packet is received by the device. The RD is usually a 64-bit value that is composed of two parts: an administrative field and an assigned number. When a packet is received, the device uses the RD to determine which VRF the packet should be forwarded to.
A route target (RT) is an optional attribute that can be assigned to a VRF instance. It is used to control the distribution of routes between VRFs. The RT is also a 64-bit value and is usually composed of two parts: an administrative field and an assigned number. The RT is used to identify the VRF to which a route should be imported or exported. Together, RD and RT are used to create a unique and identifiable path for packets within a network that uses VRF. The combination of the RD and the RT identifies the VRF to which the packet belongs, and allows the device to forward the packet to the correct VRF instance.
VRFs with different RDs and RTs are completely isolated from each other, and they have their own independent routing tables. This provides an effective way of isolating different customers, tenants, or users on a shared network infrastructure. This allows different groups or organizations to share the same physical infrastructure while maintaining separate logical networks, and thus providing better security and isolation. One of the advantages of using RD and RT in VRF is that it provides better scalability and flexibility. It allows for efficient use of resources, such as memory and processing power, and the ability to add or remove VRFs as needed. It also allows for easy migration of VRFs between devices, without the need to reconfigure the routing tables.
In summary, Route distinguisher (RD) and Route Target (RT) are crucial components of virtual routing and forwarding technology. The RD is used to identify the VRF instance a packet belongs to while RT is used to control the distribution of routes between VRFs. Together, they provide a unique and identifiable path for packets and allow for efficient use of resources and better security and isolation.

Landed on this video while searching for route distinguiser . Thank you for describing what it is and why we require the same.
Brilliant video. Thanks!
Thank you so much !!!
I can understand the Route Distinguisher and Route Target easily and what is MP BGP.Thank you vm
You are welcome !!!
very good
your knowledge base on mpls is amazing. i read somewhere that single VRF or lets say vrf A can carry mutiple or more then one RT value and we know that RD is always per vrf .
1 vrf =1 RD
my question is why there is a need of 1 vrf = 1RT or multiple RT values.
Than you !! You can assign multiple RT values to routes in a VRF. At receiving PE's , you will have ample choices to select the routes based on RT values.
Hi, is it possible to implemnte MPLS without provider but via ipsec tunnel?
Thank you
Way to go :) This is what the new systems like SD-WAN are doing !!! These system are using internet as a transport to have same functionality like MPLS..
Please suggest me any book for routing.
Or any website / Blog
Use my website.. bridgewhy.com
Video content is very good... but sorry to say too much talk and mystery makes the video boring and lengthy
Thanks Praveen for the feedback !!
