[f-nsp] BGP between XMRs (or from XMR to Juniper)

[David Ball]

  I suppose the BGP config might be helpful:

router bgp
 local-as 64555
 neighbor 172.16.0.5 remote-as 64555
 neighbor 172.16.0.5 next-hop-self

 address-family ipv4 unicast
 exit-address-family

 address-family ipv4 multicast
 exit-address-family

 address-family ipv6 unicast
 exit-address-family

 address-family vpnv4 unicast
 exit-address-family
end of BGP configuration
