Hi,

You're right and your SE is wrong.
What he's saying wouldn't be possible as both site 1 and site 4 are out of MPLS 
domain.
You can see in the VRF routing table the code 'L' (local) and also the VRF CEF 
table doesn't have any imposed label.
 
 Regards,
Leonardo.

Assunto: [c-nsp] Does traffic routing through a PE get an MPLS 
labeladded/removed?

Hi,

In a recent meeting with our Cisco SE, he told me something that doesn't seem 
right to me.  I'm having trouble finding documentation to support either side 
though.
Given the following diagram (apologies to console people) - 
http://tinyurl.com/cisco-mpls It's my understanding that traffic leaving Site 4 
and heading to Site 1 will route locally through the VRF and not have any MPLS 
header(s) added/removed as it routes through PE1.  (Please assume that all 
sites are in the _same_ VRF, I realise this Cisco diagram is trying to show two 
seperate VRFs.  That's my problem, I can find no real Cisco discussion of 
multiple interfaces terminating on the same PE in the same VRF.)

Our Cisco SE says that even routing locally on PE1 from Site 4 to Site 1, 
ingress traffic will have an MPLS header added, it will then be routed, then 
the MPLS label popped off again and it'll egress towards Site 4. 
This seems wrong to me, I think it must just be a IPv4 fowarding decision.
 Only if traffic was egressing towards Site 3 or Site 2 would it have (2) MPLS 
headers attached.

Can anyone point me to Documentation that would answer this question?

I'm sure that ingress traffic is assigned some internal "you're in VRF x"
label, but our SE was clear in stating it would be an MPLS header added and 
removed, the same information as if it was egressing towards Site 2/3.

Thanks!

Tim
