From JunOS docs (looking at "Configuring Interfaces for Carrier-of-Carriers VPNs" in the VPN guide) it seems that you don't need to set 'family mpls' on a vpn interface if it is not a coc vpn. What is the need for 'family mpls' in coc and what happens if the same is set for a non-coc vpn ? Thanks ! /bala
