[c-nsp] EoMPLS and VPLS Load Balancing

[alaerte.vidali at nsn.com]

Many tks Oli,

In Cisco pages there is a note saying that PFCxx does not support load
balancing at the tunnel ingress, so only one IGP path is used. This is
the site:

http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/routers/7600/ios/12.2SXF/configuration/g
uide/pfc3mpls.html

So I am wondering if at the end it is impossible to have PW load
balancing in PE.
(or if this does not applies to other train, like SR)

Br,
Alaerte

Yes, as far as I know. To the forwarding plane, it's just another PW..
You can also use tunnel selection along with VPLS (as shown in
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0s/feature/guide/vpls_qos.html,
section "Pseudowire Tunnel Selection")
