This is a question on l3 vpns in JunOS. 

Suppose if I configure 2 routing-instances for 
a VPN in 2 PE routers (say vrf1, vrf2). What is 
the advantage of: 

1. Having the same RD value configured for both 
vrf's. 

2. Having seperate RD values for each. 

(assume both PEs are in the same AS if you want) 

I asked this in cisco's vpn seminar yesterday and 
I was told "cisco recommends this" but they didnt 
tell me why. Anyone with good JunOS background can 
explain what's juniper's take. I'd appreciate a 
detail explanation. 


TIA
