Hi, Having a P router is not a pre-requisite to set-up a VPN between two PEs. However, if you want a complete test, it would be more realistic. You would test your igp (ospf or isis) among the P and PEs but also the iBGP session between the two PEs. This would make a typical backbone with a full routing test.

I have a question in a MPLS topology is it necessary to have a 'P' router for interconnecting 2 or more PE routers. This came my mind as i have a constraint on number of routers which i can use. regards abhijeet.c _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3450 (20080918) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com __________ Information from ESET Smart Security, version of virus signature database 3450 (20080918) __________ The message was checked by ESET Smart Security. http://www.eset.com _______________________________________________ juniper-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
