Re: [mpls] 答复: MPLS WG last call on draft-kompella-mpls-special-purpose-labels-04

["Adrian Farrel" <[e-mail]>]

Yes (or maybe).

I think it suggests that we should consider this on a case-by-case basis.

Since the labels are allocated as Standards Action (after this I-D becomes an RFC) it seems likely that "appropriate care" can be taken by the working group on a case-by-case basis.

Ciao,
Adrian
