Hi All, For cases in BGP (like VPN) where MP_REACH_NLRI attribute is used to carry route information in an Update message, we also specify the next hop for the prefixes inside this attribute itself. But if we are sending IPv4 routes inside MP_REACH_NLRI->NLRI field, and we also add the standard Next Hop path attribute then will that carry any special meaning? My confusion is that whether the NLRI path attribute can coexist with MP_REACH_NLRI attribute or not. If yes, then in which scenario. Any help in this regard would be highly appreciated. -- thanks, Rohan Sen
