Hello,
  
  Few newbie questions on FEC NextHop , LDP peer
relation...


  Suppose a non-directly connected LDP peer (address
  list contains only 9.1.1.1/32) sends a 
  label mapping to a address FEC 7.0.0.0/8 with a
label
  '100'.
  The routing table entry for 7.0.0.0/8 points
  to a immediately connected gateway 11.1.1.1/32, 
  should one conclude that the binding is not usable 
  ( since the peer is not the nexthop for the FEC?)

  Does 'Nexthop to the FEC' mean necessarily 
  nexthop as seen by the routing table...?

  As per draft-martini 'FEC' could be a L2 VC,
  what does 'Nexthop to FEC' mean in this case...?
  I am guessing 'NextHop' is the 'VC-tunnel'
endpoint..

  
Thanks,
-vishal
