A method and apparatus for providing for providing a Virtual Private Network (VPN) identifier on a packet network are disclosed. For example the method configures a provider edge (PE) router and a customer edge (CE) router with a set of link local labels for each virtual private network (VPN), wherein said set of link local labels is used to identify a VPN membership. The method also generates a master virtual route forwarding (VRF) table on the PE router for routes that are allowed into an interface to the CE router.
