Great job in explaining VRF in theory and practice. Thank you. What other uses are there for VRF? I think I read somewhere you can possibly use VRF for OOB, is this something you'd recommend - what is your take?
I think you can use it for almost anything you want to involving virtualizing router hardware. Has generally been used in service provider and data center networks. Any multi-tenant and VPN it is useful. Cheap routers support it so to me we could really use it anywhere it makes sense to "break up" the router in the same way we have been "breaking up" switches into VLANs forever.
Hi Mike, VRF creates multiple virtual routers inside the physical router. Each virtual router is completely separate from the others and they each maintain their own separate set of tables allowing for IP address reuse.

Nice, clear explanation. Well done! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you!
How are you allowed to use the same IP multiple times?

@@EventheField Still sounds like an IP address conflict waiting to happen...
