If a single carrier, then the CE4/CE2 path needs to be via
a second RD so that the paths within the carrier are preferred and the same
will happen.????
DO YOU mean we need to have diifrent vrf on secondry end to end path.
I didnt get this if single carrier as link PE1 and CE1 link fails ....CE3
send traffic for X.X.X.X to PE3.PE3 still has next hop in its vrf table as
PE1....
Please help me as still confused if two carriers , how will this hhappen
