ptp can be physical or pseudo/virtual connection, it could be over optical/OTN/ethernet/serial/... but these 2 endpoints in the p2p link will see/receive only the packets(all of unicast/multicast/broadcast) originated by the other end of the p2p connection.

Yes, there is a switch in between.
hmm, I am not familiar with eth PtoP I/Fs but if you have a switch then the different links can see each others pkgs (broadcast etc.). Not sure that is a valid use case? Jocke

Hi Joakim,
Thanks for your response.
Will try to elaborate point2 with sample config.
1. Config at Router R1
lo interface interface loopback lo has ip addr 100.100.100.125
eth1 for unnumbered borrowing the lo address for eth1 and 100.100.100.126 is the peer address ip addr add 100.100.100.125 peer 100.100.100.126 dev eth1
eth2 for unnumbered borrowing the lo address for eth2 and 100.100.100.126 is the peer address ip addr add 100.100.100.125 peer 100.100.100.126 dev eth2
Just to be clear, are those eth I/F directly connected via a cable or is there a switch in between?
