Thank you very much for posting this back to the list,
Wasn't aware the hierarchical lookup is most likely done via recirculation on
7600 (what a nasty trick) -does it affect only L3VPN lookups or lookups in
global routing table as well please?
I assume it does affect PIC Edge as well as Core for L3VPN prefixes.
