uhh- i'm not following the logic there. if the JNPR's aren't to be
LER's why bother having L2/MPLS encapsulation on them? i'm not
looking to argue the densities and functionality i'm just curious as
to where you came to the conclusion that the JNPR's aren't designed to
be LER's.
L2/MPLS functionality is a pretty moot point in the core of the
network. you don't care what the labelled encapsulations are you're
just switching based on label.
