[j-nsp] MVPN Interoperability Issue

[Harry Reynolds]

No. Each mvpn instance needs a unique p-group address, which results in a mt encap/decap for that mvpn's default tree. In a rosen7 with 3 pes, you have one outgoing and two incoming mdts at a minimum. If desired you can then have usage driven data mdts, but that increases tunnel count at the benefit of sparing Pes that have no interested receivers.

IIRC, we support something like 1023 mdts per TP. Not sure that we have the ability yet to scale with multiple tps.

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