[j-nsp] FBF - set next-hop?

[Luca Salvatore]

Oh right, so I create a new routing-instance type forwarding, then add my relevant interfaces into that, and the interfaces can still exist in the global instance?

Hi Luca,

Yes - FBF uses a routing-instance of type forwarding-instance to perform next-hop look-up - think of it not as a VR, merely an alternative routing table to consult.  The resolved next-hop interface can still be part of your default routing-instance.

Cheers,
