[c-nsp] ASR9k Bundle QoS in 6.0.1

[Nick Cutting]

Your customers are running MPLS between their sites - across L2 MPLS provider Links?
This is something that I also want to do as an enterprise man, but was always worried about MTU etc.

Just so I understand - this also causes a hashing issue for the ISP's as the sources and destinations are many labels deep - and you only see the /30 IP's I have chosen for the links across your backbone?

Ah, quite. An interesting problem - and one that could come to you by surprise if your customers are enabling MPLS without telling you.
