Hannes,

Are we talking lab/experiments or production ? Please point me to any
linux distribution which officially supports this. Also please point
me to the official linux kernel which supports mpls kernel project.

> can you point me to the text which says so.

Not in rfc3031 but in rfc5036 .. pretty much the only practical
signalling protocol for mpls transport (not an overlay mpls
signalling):

   "Prefix SHOULD NOT use the label for forwarding unless its routing
    table contains an entry that exactly matches the FEC Element."
