Re: Juniper MX - Routed pseudowire using LDP - VPWS or VPLS

[Ben Bartsch <uwcableguy () gmail com>]

The other solution is a stitched LT configuration.  One LT is the L3
endpoint, the other is the PW endpoint.  You use VPWS with this one.  I
suppose you might be able to do VPLS instead if you wanted to.  I am
running eBGP on this circuit too.  It's a bit more complicated for
troubleshooting.  I'm not sure what benefit this has over the IRB method.

Again, Junos 15.1R6.7:

show configuration interfaces lt-0/0/10 | display set

The PE is again a Dell S4048-ON running IPI OcNOS v1.3.3

Finally the CE is the same old Cisco 3550 with a VLAN:

I also forgot to show y'all what the VPLS circuit show commands look like
on the OcNOS node for the VPLS solution:
