I think you're exaggerating a little ;-)  I'm having trouble believing

that you are unable to determine whether the 3107 "multiple labels"

feature is in use in any of your company's deployments.



[Bruno] Indeed, we had a different perspective.

On my side, I was assuming that the IETF would not introduce a non-backward compatible specification change, without first checking that none of the deployment would be affected. My point was that this is hard to prove.

On your side, you were assuming that the responsibility would be on each network operator to check whether they would have an issue. This is breaking the big problem into N smaller ones.
