L3VPN - BGP PE-CE and backdoor link.

Hey all,

Long time lurker, first time poster...

So I get the whole SOO community, vrf-import/export policy thing, but is this really needed? I’m struggling to think when you’d run into a loop with this setup?

[edit]

Ok, so as far as I can tell the only time you run into problems is when you have unconstrained mutual redistribution between BGP and the IGP on the CPE. This is unlikely in the real world, so I guess I’m over complicating the question and should accept that it’s just a test that you understand SOO and vrf-import/export….
