folks
  I am practising IE lab 1 for service provider , one of the tasks was to stop any device on the vlan from listening to ospf between two routers
   
  by converting the interface types to non-broadcast on the routers , and configure them as neighbors , the routes moved fine between them
   
   
  however ; when i build Traffic Engineering tunnel for MPLS , the tunnel never goes up unless i changed the interface of the ospf from non-broadcast to multipoint non-broadcast
   
  now my question is , first what is the "multipoint non-broadcast " interface and how is that different from either multicast or non-broadcast alone .
   
  second , what is the effect of that on TE ?
   
  thanks
