What info must be unique beween MPLS Carrier-to-Carrier?

Hi,

I am not sure what info must be unique between the nets of two mpls-carriers.

Do the carriers need an ip-scheme without any overlapping ip-adresses?

I think the RT-import / export and the RD must be compatible, right?

Kind Regards,

Chris

Depends on what you're doing. But in general, the extended communities and the RD will usually have to be compatible, and the address-scheme may need to be compatible also.

But the real question is - why do you care? If you're just asking out of academic curiosity, then that's cool. But I hope you're not actually thinking of implementing such a setup, because at this time there is basically zero business-rationale for doing so. Service-providers are rightfully more worried about putting their financial houses in order rather than playing around with weird bleeding edge stuff like carrier-over-carrier.
