RE: Please comment draft-kulmala-l3vpn-aggregation-pe-00



Luyuan,

Option B requires that there is a label switched path leading from a
packet's ingress PE to its egress PE as stated in RFC2547bis. There is
no IP layer forwarding at ASBR. In my mind that is then the same mpls
domain, but word "domain" may mean different things to us.

Option B does not require PSN tunnels between the packet's ingress and
ergess PEs but it will establish LSP by VPN label distributed by BGP.
But anyways there is LSP connectivity between routers in different ASes.
As stated earlier I think that what we propose would give better
isolation than option B.

Regards,
Marko
