Hi,Yakov

Right, thanks for your reminder;) 
It should be said "as packets are received over TE tunnel with PHP off by
egress LSR,  it can not be determined from which VPN
these packets are transimitted without additional configure or processing such as bidirectiaonal RSVP-TE tunnel with virtual router technology.

Best regards!

The above is not exactly correct. Namely, if one does not perform
PHP, then the egress PE by examining the outermost label can determine
from which PE these packets are transmitted.
