But Row 4/5 is the same - there is a MAC address as overlay index, so:

- either we "don’t care" the label for row 4/5 and just use overlay index, or
- do the same with for rows 1/2/3 as with rows 4/5 and do label based forwarding based on local policy

I'm just curious why there is a difference?

Thanks.
