Hi,
RFC2547bis suggests the use of EBGP between CE and PE routers; Is this a preferable model for service providers and enterprise customers, when compared to using IGP?
Yes. BGP is designed for network borders. Besides, in at least one major current implementation, your IGP options are painfully limited.
Are there anyone who have deployed this? If so, how is the EBGP peering setup if the CE router is with a local (VPN) IP address?
The BGP session lives in VPN space, the routes only exist in VPN routing tables. Your CE having a VPN address is really just the natural solution. -Dave
