Hi, I'm not sure what happened, but the section of my email below was not meant to be a quote. It could be just my mail system, since the archive of the list does not show it as a quote. On 20 Oct 2011, at 12:55, Jeroen van der Ham wrote:
From what I understand, Jerry's viewpoint is that the label is *not* an essential part of the end-point definition. An end-point is in the network, and a Group of STPs is described that derive from that end-point, which implicitly encode the label through the mapping. The value of the label is available to the intra-domain manager, but not inter-domain. Inter-domain path calculation takes place without knowledge of the label, assignment of labels is done by the domains themselves.
