Hello All, Section 4 of the MPLS-TP identifiers draft-03 specifies: "Where IPv4 addresses are used, it is "convenient" to use the Node's IPv4 loopback address as the Node_ID, however the Node_ID does not need to have any association with the IPv4 address space used in the operator's IGP or BGP. Where IPv6 addresses are used exclusively, a domain unique 32- bit value is assigned" When IP based addressing is used isnt it a "MUST" to use Node-Id as an IPv4 address (sayIPv4 loopback address or router id). >From the above text it looks that in such a case NodeId need not mandatorily be an IPv4 address. Thanks Selvan
