Thanks.

Thank you.  That's what I thought.

However, my confusion comes from this.
If I issue this command for a specific VRF instead of a Summary:

show ip bgp vpnv4 vrf Customer_A
BGP table version is 40, local router ID is 10.10.10.4
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal
Origin codes: i - IGP, e - EGP, ? - incomplete

   Network          Next Hop            Metric LocPrf Weight Path
Route Distinguisher: 100:101 (default for vrf Customer_A)
*>i200.0.6.0        10.10.10.6               0    100      0 ?
*> 200.0.4.0        0.0.0.0                  0         32768 ?
*>i200.1.6.0        10.10.10.6               0    100      0 ?

As you see,
 the Prefixes in this result are under the "Route Distinguisher" column

This is confusing me.  Are these Prefixes or are they "Route Distinguishers"

Are they same?  If so, then why?

Sorry for this "silly" question, but MPLS hasn't totally clicked in my mind yet.

I hope you can clarify this for me.

Thank you!

Carlos:

show ip bgp vpnv4 all summary should do it.

Simple MPLS question:

What is the quickest/simplest way to determine the exact number of Prefixes 
received by a PE Router from another PE Router over an MP-BGP session?


Thank you in advance for your answer!

Yeah...I probably should not have included that check since it does not play 
into the calculation.

Yes, this is the point I've been trying to make, subtly, but failing :-)



In the second terminal output box in your article, you are checking

R7's s0/0/0 interface, but the bandwidth and delay values specified

there are irrelevant.



Nice article, but if I could give one piece of feedback it would be to

make it painfully clear that the composite metric is calculated

"uni-directionally" -- from the device performing the calculation, to

the ultimate destination -- using the egress interfaces *only*,

including the ultimate directly connected interface, in each hop along

the path.  (in this case, R8's s0/0/0 and R7's lo0.)



I've found this fact to result in a 'light bulb moment' for lots of

people struggling with EIGRP metric calculation.



Cheers,

Dale
