There is also a small global address space connecting the P/PE-network together. It consists only of all P-PE links and loopbacks of the P/PE's. LDP needs global adresses to be able to set up LSR's. > If all routes are vpn'd, do you run BGP in your core? MP-iBGP yes. > What do you use to monitor vrf's? We are using a separate hub-and-spoke mgmt-vrf. The mgmt-network is injected into the vrf in the hub-end. All CE-routers has got one Loopback address that's beeing leaked from the customer-vrf to the mgmt-vrf on the connecting PE. All customer-vrf's do also import the mgmt-vpn hub RT. > Anyone using the mpls plug-in for HP OpenView? Not us.
