So today I created a mesh of L2VPNs interconnecting virtual-routers on 5 SRX650s and J6350s. I did the 3 650s as a trial, then added 2 J6350s later because, well, I could. Configuring a triangle of RSVP-signalled paths, BGP neighbours, and logical tunnels, wasn't too bad. Adding 2 more points

In Juniper's BGP-based VPLS, you do not need to create pseudowires in-between the VPLS instances. As long as you have one master LSP (usuallyan RSVP one) in-between two PEs, BGP will then (by detecting which VPLS instance is announced from which device), automatically build an inner tunnel

We use both LDP- and BGP-signalled in our environment, with LDP-signalled providing somewhat of a 'poor-man's hub and spoke'. The spokes are configured to only build pseudowires to the hub, and the hub builds back to all spokesworks for our particular use case. Anyhow, BGP
