BGP prefix-independent convergence (PIC) edge for MPLS VPNs

You can install a Layer 3 VPN route in the forwarding table as an alternate path, enabling fast failover when a provider edge (PE) router fails or you lose connectivity to a PE router. This already installed path is used until global convergence through the IGP is resolved. To enable BGP PIC Edge in an MPLS VPN, include the protect-core statement at the [edit routing-instances routing-instance-name routing-options] hierarchy level. Both IS-IS LDP and OSPF LDP are supported. When BGP PIC Edge is enabled, the show route extensive command displays the weight assigned to the indirect hop.
