[c-nsp] IOS XR as-path-loopcheck and as-override

Hi James,
Just some ideas here:
In MPLS Option B and ASBR peering we exchange bgp vpnv4 labels to
create LSP all the way .So we need to disable the bgp label filtering on ASBRs -On
XR : router bgp xxxx-->add-family vpnv4 uni--retain route-target all. But i
believe that’s not the case here as you configured the vrf on the XR. Another thing
with XR and ASBR peering is that in IOS under the interface connected to the
peer on the other AS mpls bgp forwarding is added automatically as there is /32
entry on CEF .Thats not the case in XR. So for the labels to be exchanged b/n
the ASBR  we need to manually add /32
entry for the interface connected to the ASBR peer from the other AS!!:
router static-->add-family ipv4 uni-->20.0.1.1/32 int gi0/0/0/0.1/for
example/.I came across the issue .Hope this helps.

May I know your reasoning behind this nonstandard setup please? 
As the 9K1s should know the routes from each other via the intra-AS paths.  

From the top of my head I can't think of a reason why it should not work. 
So the Ak9 in remote AS is advertising the routes over Opt.B to AS65001 but ASR9001s are dropping them please? 
Or the Ak9 in remote AS is not even attempting to advertise the routes back to AS65001 please? 

The quickest way to figure things out is to use debug. 
debug bgp update vpnv4 u in (rpl)
or
debug bgp update vpnv4 u out (rpl)
