It is perfectly reasonable to provide the exception for the legacy hardware, however the the text that does seems confusing. I would like to propose that we address this confusion by including a further update to RFC7274 in this terminology draft: > > > > OLD > > Values 0-15 of the "Extended Special-Purpose MPLS Label Values" > > registry are set aside as reserved.
