Hi Experts,

I have one doubt regarding Cisco's implementation of OSPF as PE-CE routing
protocol :-

On ingress PE's PE-CE protocol I have LSA type 1 route :-

106#sh ip ospf 101 database

            OSPF Router with ID (44.44.44.2) (Process ID 101)

                *Router Link States (Area 0)*

Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum Link count
*44.44.44.2 44.44.44.2 1759 0x8000000A 0x00AB8F 2*
108.108.108.108 108.108.108.108 1760 0x8000000A 0x00B957 2

                Summary Net Link States (Area 0)

Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum
11.11.11.0 44.44.44.2 1381 0x80000001 0x004EC5
77.77.77.0 44.44.44.2 1381 0x80000001 0x00FC50
100.100.100.100 44.44.44.2 1381 0x80000001 0x003663
108.108.108.108 108.108.108.108 832 0x80000005 0x005B79
111.111.111.111 44.44.44.2 1381 0x80000001 0x003A33

                Type-5 AS External Link States

Link ID ADV Router Age Seq# Checksum Tag
1.1.1.1 108.108.108.108 832 0x80000005 0x0079ED 0
2.2.2.2 108.108.108.108 832 0x80000005 0x00CE14 0
106#

Now when this route is redistributed into MP-BGP on local PE, this route
shows as LSA type2 :-

106#sh ip bgp vpnv4 vrf cust_a *44.44.44.0*
BGP routing table entry for 1:100:44.44.44.0/24, version 40
Paths: (1 available, best #1, table cust_a)
  Advertised to update-groups:
     1
  Local
    0.0.0.0 from 0.0.0.0 (106.106.106.106)
      Origin incomplete, metric 0, localpref 100, weight 32768, valid,
sourced, best
      Extended Community: RT:1:100 OSPF DOMAIN
ID:0x0005:0x000000650200
        *OSPF RT:0.0.0.0:2:0* OSPF ROUTER ID:44.44.44.2:512,

      mpls labels in/out 26/nolabel

According to my understanding and also have gone through PE-CE RFC, it
should have been LSA type 1 only.
Anyone can help me understand this behavior.

Thanks in advance.
