I'm curious, I thought setting the RD the same on each PE router (obviously per VPN) was the way to do things ?

Most of the stuff I've seen shows it done this way, eg.

When do/should you set the RD to be different ? I'm guessing it's going to be for larger installations and to allow more customisation or something ?

Happy to do some reading and educate myself if people can point me towards the correct material.


Thanks very much,
Tony.
