Hi Thamir,

The point-to-point interfaces are assigned by the provider, using  
private address space. The provider would manage the assignment  
across all their interfaces regardless of which VPN the interface  
would exist in. For internet connecting VPNs, the addresses assigned  
would be registered Internet numbers to ensure traceroutes / path MTU  
discovery work.

Route Distinguishers applied to routes advertised in the SP would  
prevent overlap issues in the core. Customer networks are free to  
advertise any routes they wish to use, except for the addresses  
assigned to their PE-CE links.

Cheers,
Truman
