Hi Weiguo, About this:
[weiguo]: Traffic duplication and loop issue both exist in dual DF PE case. In multi-homed device case, say CE1 is multi-homed to PE1 and PE2 and both PE are DF PE. When CE1 sends traffic to PE1, the traffic will loop back to CE1 through PE2. If CE1 can filter and drop the traffic , it is fortunate, maybe no loop. For multi-homed network scenario, say local network1(CE1 and CE2) is multi-homed to PE1 and PE2. Similarly, the traffic from CE1 will loop back through PE1-->PE2-->CE2, it is very serious. It is absolutely not allowed. [JORGE] In a MH device case: CE1->BUM->PE1->(ESI-label+BUM)->PE2. PE2 will not send the traffic back to CE1 due to the ESI-label and split-horizon procedures. In MH network case PE2 will NOT send the traffic to CE2 for the same reason. Let me know if you disagree please. Thanks.
