Subject: RTs when importing routes into a VRF

Hi,

Should a PE router, while advertising the BGP routes to an EBGP peer, strip off the RTs
or should the RTs remain attached?

PE ----- CE
 <--BGP-->

We have 2 routers running EBGP. CE is in VRF, and has import target of 1:1.

PE recives a route 10/8 from a remote PE with RTs 1:1 and 2:2. Should the PE router keep
the RTs attached along with the BGP UPDATEs when it announces the route to the CE BGP
peer? I think it should.

Thanks,
John
