[c-nsp] Running OSPF on PE-to-CE

[Harold Ritter]

This is normal behavior. If you look at the PE you will see that the
locally originated route (the one redistributed from OSPF) has a weight of
32768, which makes sure that this route always win over the one received
from the other PE via BGP VPNv4.
