[j-nsp] L-LSP in M-Series ?

Yes, if I understood well, in the configuration guides states that
some TE features only work if the TE-Tunnel only passes through
M-Series equipment. But this does not mean that can't be other vendor
equipment in the MPLS core as LSRs (for non-TE traffic or regular TE
traffic with no special features)
We are planning to use only M-Series (M320) in the MPLS Edge. In the
core, im not so sure, it may exist other vendor LSRs. Interop issues
are tricky and not everything comes in the manual.

Well, that's an idea. But I don't want to just believe its possible, I
want to be certain. I've been looking into Juniper Technical
documentation and configuration guides, but until know I didn't find
any reference that confirms its possible. But I guess I didn't search
exaustively in the classification and CoS forwarding angle, so I'll
look again.
