[j-nsp] PtP link over FR

Let me guess, on Cisco Router A you got an ARP entry for Cisco
Router B's address when you put a Cisco router in the middle, as
the Cisco router has proxy-arp enabled by default.

Or to put it more clearly the IP addresses used FR p2p pvc is a
subset of the IP addresses used on the link between Cisco Router A
and Juniper Router.

Or on Cisco router A you have a static route without a next-hop address
to the IP subnet used on the FR link

In either case it's a mis configuration, that gets
'saved'/'hidden' by the fact proxy-arp is enabled by default on the
Cisco router.
