If the router, which received a label request with FEC for a default route, has the default route,
then it is supposed to send a label mapping for it. Any valid label will be allocated,
because in terms of label allocation, a default route makes no difference 
in comparison to non-default routes.

Subject: [MPLS-OPS]: Default route FEC for LDP.

Hi,
 
What is a router supposed to do on receiving a Label request with the FEC tlv for a default route(0.0.0.0/0)? Is it supposed to send a Notification back with status "No route" or send a Label mapping for the same? If the latter is true, what is the label?
 
Thanks,
Bageshri
