Re: BGP L2VPN Question - Site-ID and Remote-Site-ID

This will not fullfil my needs.

 

When I study something new for the first time, I always look for the use cases. Now, draft-kompella is here, and people say that it eases the configuration of p2p L2VPN connections, but I can't seem to find how this is done.

 

For example, when you configure a l2circuit using martini, you configure the attachment circuit along with the VC-ID on each PE router. For the BGP L2VPN, you do the same.

 

I mean, where is the intelligence of the "auto discovery" part that will ease my life? I assume that if the interface of the remote PE router was carried on a FEC TLV along with the label, like in the L3VPN, that will make sense to me. However, and again, with all respect to Dr. Kompella, I can't seem to find a use case for the draft.

 

Being said that, I might be missing something, so you can correct me if I'm wrong.
