[j-nsp] MVPN Interoperability Issue

[John Frame]

Yes, you only need a single GRE tunnel between PEs which can carry multiple P2MP LSPs.

Actually it is possible to support BGP-MVPNs over a non-P2MP capable
core by using GRE tunnels.  Each PE would require a Tunnel PIC to
support both the GRE requirement and the vt interface must be used in
the routing instance - however if you are using MXs then it is built
in already on the DPCs.  If Inclusive trees are used, then P2MP
branches are built statically, but automatic trees can be built if
using a Selective tree.

In the GRE approach, do we have the ability to aggregate multiple MVPNs into a single Inter-PE GRE tunnel?

Thanks,
