Yes, I believe that this is what I described, but in reverse.
Either way, the OSM does the MPLS and the Sup does the Layer 2.

So, what you are saying is that this functionality is not in the 
silicon? why not?  this appears to be a design oversight.

Thanks, if thats the case, you should at the very least offer an option 
for doing this in software with reduced performance as a result, if not, 
I don't see a use for this architecture moving forward with our current 
EOMPLS plans.


Kind Regards,
