[c-nsp] Possible split horizon issue with bgp signalled vpls

[Pshem Kowalczyk]

Hi,

I assume here you're running ME3600x. Split horizon works by stopping
any packets that arrived on one pseudowire from leaving on another
pseudowire. Attachment circuit to another attachment circuit is not
affected (unless you make add them to another split-horizon group
manually).

Can you show the output of 'sh mpls l2 vc'

Do you also run targeted LDP between those devices?

kind regards
Pshem
