[j-nsp] Path MTU Discovery - MPLS VPN

[tim.hunt at bt.com]

Thanks Masood, I have an FE associated with the VRF on the CE/PE router
with a /26 assigned and so I assume I meet that requirement?

Should path MTU check work within the MPLS cloud ie. Say a link from the
P to PE has a reduced MTU? IS there any general info out there that
would help? I had a look at the RFC.

Cheers,
Tim.

path mtu check requires at least one IP address must be associated with
each vrf. If an IP address is not associated with the routing instance,
icmp reply messages cannot be sent.
