[j-nsp] LDP/MPLS is mandatory in the route-reflector bgp vpnv4uplink?

[Alex]

Ricardo,
No need to run LDP (nor RSVP) in VPNv4 RR.
Use static default/summary route in inet.3 instead:

set routing-options rib inet.3 static route 0/0 discard no-install

Of course, you will lose "IGP metric" step in BGP path selection algorithm.
