Route Distinguishers

gabbdavida

I have a customer who requires a private MPLS infrastructure to support his separate businesses. The use of private addresses and AS numbers for the formation of Route Distinguishers is ‘strongly discouraged’ in RFC 4364 (and arrangements for a connection to an Internet Service Provider have yet to be defined).

The question is whether the RFC recommendation should still apply when implemented outside the Internet; where there is no requirement to be globally unique?

It all depends, if in future you don't want to do the any nni or csc with any of the SP, in that case private is ok but if you have any plans to go global, I would suggest you to go with public AS + Public Loop back addresses.
