Hi,

I just reviewed the I2RS minutes of IETF 92th. There is a question as below:

"Anoop: what is the use case for next hop in another routing instance?"

One of the use cases is VRF-2-VRF communication within a single PE, this can be achieved by configuring the RT or static VRF route. When configure such a static VRF route, it needs to specify in which VRF/instance the nexthop resides.

Hope this answers the question.

Best regards,
Mach
