Thank you, Adrian, it's all much clearer now! If we used an IGP-signaled auto-mesh, would that help? Then we can answer Esther's question: the topology would be full-mesh, and configuration (conifguration?) would be considerably simplified. JP, you can help here. Can you please add a 'granularity' knob for auto-meshes, preferably measured in millimeters? > Adrian > > ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kireeti Kompella" <kireeti@juniper.net> > To: "Esther Bar-Hall" <esther.bar-hall@SeabridgeNetworks.com> > Cc: <mpls@ietf.org> > Sent: Thursday, November 16, 2006 11:14 PM > Subject: Re: [mpls] probability of conifguring in a valid way "snake" teston > Cards in an LSR? > > >> On Mon, 13 Nov 2006, Esther Bar-Hall wrote: >> >> This is truly an original message! >> >> Esther, would you mind explaining what this is about? >> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Kireeti Kompella [mailto:kireeti@juniper.net] >>> Sent: Wednesday, November 08, 2006 21:56 >>> To: LE ROUX Jean-Louis RD-CORE-LAN >>> Hi, >>> >>> I need to know whether there is a way to fully populate a Cage with >>> cards and run a "snake" test on all ports with two ports of TE >>> connected to the cage, where the NE functions as an LER/LSR? >>> >>> Please advise on the matter and how will the topology will be and the >>> configurations? >>> >>> Any help will be appreciated. >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> mpls mailing list >>> mpls@lists.ietf.org >>> https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls >>> >>> >>> >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> mpls mailing list >>> mpls@lists.ietf.org >>> https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls >>> >> >> Kireeti. >> ------- >> >> _______________________________________________ >> mpls mailing list >> mpls@lists.ietf.org >> https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls >> >> >> > Kireeti. ------- _______________________________________________ mpls mailing list mpls@lists.ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/mpls
