That was not what I was talking about either, that would be sick.

The IGP is used for BGP to validate next hop is it not (among other things) ? If the next hop is directly connected then you don't need that anymore. If you are interested have a read of this old thread http://www.michnet.net/mail.archives/nanog/2002-09/msg00002.html and note Alex Yurievs comments. Being able to decide what how to handle each prefix at every hop in the network offers some featurettes which you can't get without MPLS TE, and maybe not even then in reality. /Tony -- Tony Sarendal - [EMAIL PROTECTED] IP/Unix -= The scorpion replied, "I couldn't help it, it's my nature" =-
