Hello
    In draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-06.txt, there is an Address Message and Address Withdraw Message. I am not able to figure out what purpose does it serve. In the Hello packet that an LSR sends, it can send the Interface IP Address optionally. If it doesnt send then the receiving LSR can make out when it receives from the particular socket. And what do we gain if an LSR advertizes IP Addresses of other interfaces also ? The connection between 2 LSRs is anyway thru some particular interface and knowing the IP Address of other interfaces will be of no use.
