When the IGP next-hop towards that FEC is a non-MPLS node, the LSR receiving the above MPLS packet with top label of L is desired to forward that MPLS packet towards node N via an IP-based tunnel. In this case, the node N is the remote peer for that FEC.

Is this really a “remote label distribution peer”? Or a local one by way of the forwarding adjacency of an IP Tunnel as a logical MPLS-enabled interface (towards N or bypassing the old router)?
