[VPB] Please see if my response to Lou adequately addresses your concern.

And what would happen if the ETLD value in the received PATH message is bigger than the maximum number of labels this node can handle? It seems this case was not covered in section 5.3.

[VPB] Section 5.3.1 says --
"The ETLD MUST be decremented at each non-delegation transit hop by
either 1 or some appropriate number based on the limitations at that
hop."

The "limitations at that hop" reference is not necessarily limited to
the "outbound limitation", it could include the "read limitation" as
well. Consider a transit hop that can read only 6 labels. If this hop
receives an ETLD of 8 from the previous-hop, then it could adjust the
outgoing ETLD to 5 (thus ensuring that it can never receive more
label-stack-entries than it can read).
