Hi Csaba,

 

Sorry for the delay in response.

 

We are OK with what you and Anton are comfortable with for the EANTC demo.

 

For the IETF demo, we plan to use resolving BGP-CT routes over RSVP-TE tunnels,

using the virtual VM environment. Natz has that working.

 

It would have been good to use RSVP-TE tunnel for EANTC also. But if that’s not

possible because of hardware limitation...

 

wait, one question/thought:

What if we do Internet(IPv4-Unicast) as the service instead of L3VPN?

 

Then with just two labels (CT label and RSVP-TE label), will it be possible

to demonstrate IPv4-Unicast traffic resolving over BGP-CT interdomain LSP?

It will be two labels intra-domain, and one label on inter-AS link.

 

Thanks,

Kaliraj

hi,

please find attached the final topology we'll go on the demo...

r3-r4-r5 are the nodes to look at, now no ugly route-policy at all,

just pure rt-import/export magic everywhere plus the new afi-vrf xxx set-vrf knob...

in the freerouter asn i keep a bgp-ctp session and no isis nor ldp...

now it uses only 2 labels everywhere so the outer label is the color, the inner is the service...

because of dataplane limitations (only 2 labels in hw) we'll go with this config at the plugfest!

thanks,
cs
