Thanks Truman, I would like to thank you for your prompt replay. But I understand from the draft-guichard-pe-ce-addr-03.txt by Guichard, that there is potential problem if same address space used in the provider network and the customer. It pointed that this can be avoided by NMS. However, I am not sure if this is practical. So, do you think they did not found practical problem with using private? In the MPLS core, as you said, I sure their no problem of using the private because of route distinguisher. Note: This draft has been absolute. So, I do not think you will find this draft in IETF website.

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.
