No worries, i was just cynical on the use of the word global.

To me global is Internet-wide=0xe and should not be used for
something that is only unique inside a single administrative domain.
Thats also why i find terminology of "global labels" in MPLS hilarious.
Yes "domain-wide" label/address/... doesn't sound as sexy.

I am using global 192.168/16 addresses in my homes on two continents ;-))
