This question is focused more at actual use of MPLs rather than at what the specs state about how it should be used. Please let me know if this is an inappropriate forum for this question. I've been trying to understand the requirements as far as bridging and MPLS from a practical perspective. Suppose, for example, that the following LSR exists on an Ethernet network: (Ingress) A --> B --> C (Egress) For any particular packet traversing this LSR, is it reasonable to expect that it will only touch three hosts enroute from A to C, or is it possible that there could be a multitude of intervening hosts? e.g. Could the actual path the packet traverses look like: A --> 1 --> 2 --> B --> 3 --> C where 1, 2, and 3 represent switches performing L2 bridging? Thanks in advance for any comments. They're much appreciated! -AMT ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml |
