You will need a sham-link between PE A and PE B to make the traffic engineering 
to work. 
I Always favour BGP (or static) as the PE-CE protocol. Gives better control of 
my routing.

Emne: [c-nsp] BGP vs OSPF (CE -> PE)

Hi Everyone,

We typically use OSPF (CE/PE) so customer can advertise routes into their VRF - 
We have issues with failover (When customer site has 2 links) but the links go 
to different PE"s of ours (We only have agg's from carriers on certain PE's)..

eg.

Customer(vrf) has a site(foo) connected to PE A + B (PE B is "failover" link)

Same customer has another site(bar) connected to PE B.

Traffic from site "bar" to "foo" will go via PE B, which is not what we 
want...we have manipulated this to work via longer subnets (i.e. failover link 
advertising a /23 instead of a /24), but this isnt always feasible.

Would BGP(Instead of OSFP) help in this situation...i.e. Can we manipulate how 
the routes are advertised(PE A/B) within the vrf more easily if the CE 
advertises via BGP vs OSPF? Or any other suggestions?

Cheers
