Hi Padmini,
  We are also in the process of creating a MPLS test-bed in IITB. I guess 
the notion of lablespace is to identify the interface that the labels come 
from (as you have rightly said), but this concept is useful in processing 
at the hop on the basis of interfaces that it come from, rather than 
trying and identifying each and individual labels and then processing. 
Labelspaces can make some processing fast.

  As far as a small test-bed is considered, it doesn't make a difference to 
use or not to use labelspaces.

  I have successfully traversed ping packets using MPLS on my test-bed. But 
ssh and other application packets seem not to work as of now. Lets see. 
Efforts are on :)

ciao,
Sudeep
