​I think this is very important to stop here for a moment and discuss ...
What is MPLS data plane ?

MPLS data plane can be connection less (constructed with LDP or IGP
extensions of domain wide labels) - that is really an IP based control
plane which controls the forwarding modulo tunnels to specific nodes
(SR-MPLS, GRE, VXLAN etc ....)

MPLS data plane can also be connection oriented (example using RSVP-TE​)
which setup LSP across the network. Does not reserve nor guarantee anything
in the data plane (only if well done in the control plane - which btw some
folks still do not believe after so many years :-).

So here we are now really trying to take connection oriented model and push
it to connecton less paradigm.

Very bizarre ...

​Best,
Robert.​
