RE: A question on CE to PE route exchanges ...

[Elwin Eliazer <elwinietf () yahoo com>]

Even i am interested in knowing the exact issue with
using IGPs? What is the most common CE-PE route
exchange behaviour now ... Static routes OR IGP OR
BGP??

Dave, are you referring the CE loopback address also
to be local?

cheers,
Elwin.
