No idea how common it is in the wider context, but I've used it routinely for some years and with a small number of exceptions (e.g. Miktotik ipv6 and other systems which don't support recursive route resolution), it works extremely well. > Interestingly, the ME3600 PE nodes I have are actually picking the > nearest RR for default so there appears to be a difference between > IOS and Junos. yeah, junos handles mpls route resolution differently to ios. Saku Ytti's advice is still good though: if you don't advertise default routes, you can avoid an entire category of problems. Nick
