Adding more to the explaination, I gave earlier, I think the notion of labelspaces would be extremely useful (and maybe essential too) for "aggregation" of individual mpls flows in the network. Here we would need to group the flows together which would want the similar treatment. sudeep On Fri, 17 Sep 2004, Sudeep Goyal wrote: > Hi Padmini, > We are also in the process of creating a MPLS test-bed in IITB.
