The label gives you the context info, so each label can support up to 8 PHBs. To support all 64 PHBs (which are not defined yet) you need 8 parallel LSPs. -Shahram _______________________________________________ diffserv mailing list diffserv@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/diffserv Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/working-groups/diffserv/current/maillist.html
