Hi,
WIll a PE router ever advertise a route it learns from another PE router to some other PE router.
I dont think it will ever do that as all the PE routers are IBGP peers and would generally be in
full mesh. 

Is there any case when this might happen .. i.e. a PE router advertises a Route learnt from one PE
to another PE. How can one do that .. because IMHO the label that will be advertised by the former
PE router will be for the PE router to which he sends the UPDATE. How can this PE router advertise
another PE router the same label?

Moreover, if for some reason he has to .. does he assign a new label and then advertise?

ANy comments on this would be very helpful!
