Hi Scott,

Does this solution assume that you have control of the BGP router(s) in the
MPLS cloud.

I was working on this as if it was the SP who owned the MPLS routers and as
a result, weren't allowed to be changed.

I may be misunderstanding however. (I know you have no more info than I do
but what i'm getting at is the solution(s) you mentioned. They would be
implemented on the MPLS BGP router(s)??)

Thanks a lot,

Pete
