Re: MPLS VPN Encapsulation problem

R3 distribute a label for 3.0.0.0/8 (pop tag), but R2 doesn't use it because
there is a longest match 3.3.3.3/32 (from static)
The problem is that 3.3.3.3/32 has not remote binding label.

R2#sh mpls ldp bindings 3.0.0.0 255.0.0.0
  tib entry: 3.0.0.0/8, rev 7
        remote binding: tsr: 3.3.3.3:0, tag: imp-null

R2#sh mpls ldp bindings 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255
  tib entry: 3.3.3.3/32, rev 6
        local binding: tag: 16

When you fix loopback netmask to /32 (or fix static route to /8), BGP
recursive lookup will find label for next-hop 3.3.3.3

R2#sh mpls ldp bindings 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255
  tib entry: 3.3.3.3/32, rev 6
        local binding: tag: 16
        remote binding: tsr: 3.3.3.3:0, tag: imp-null

I never put attention in this problem, because using of IGP on backbone
prevents it....
