Hi,
Before my IPv6 lab, I thought that 6PE had the same behavior than BGP FreeCore MPLS for IPv4.
I expected that the incoming IP packet on the ingress PE was labeled with just the IGP label. Forwarded to the egress PE and that the egress PE did a IPv6 lookup to forward the packet to the remote CE (exctly like BGP FreeCore MPLS).
It seems that in 6PE there is 2 labels (1 MP-BGP label and 1 IGP label). So I think in this case that there is IPv6 lookup on the egress PE (just forwarded with LFIB) ?
My question is why is there 2 different behavior ? Is it possible to do BGP FreeCore for IPv6 ? Is it really different that 6PE (or am I wrong)?
Thank you
