+1 to Russ's comments in prior email.

BGP L3VPN is a specific use-case. The RIB modeling avoid protocol specific 
modeling. Also we are not trying to replicate BGP here. So what is modeled here 
is the ability to inject routes into a bunch of tables (and the tables can be 
contained in routing-instances…aka VRFs).

These should be modeled as part of topology. Tunnels are nothing but virtual 
links in a topology.
