In addition, the VRF in the PE to VRF ping group may be a VRF that is hosted by a multi-VRF CE device.End-to-end availability testing for the periodic remote ping groups describes the device-pair end-to-end paths that are tested by the periodic remote ping groups.“Remote ping examples” on page 91illustrates the end-to-end paths.
