Lucy, we discussed this and decided it was better to have the egress control the values of the ELI it advertises.  Plus, getting a reserved value would be difficult

Hi Kireeti and Shane,

Could we consider use one of reserved label for ELI purpose? This will make implementation much easy, i.e. not need to keep the state for each ELI label. The approach can be used in general for RSVP-TE and BGP as well.

Regards,
Lucy
