You could maintain the mapping you are referring to. However in most scenarios
that I can think of, the MAC address needed by an outgoing frame on a given interface
will be that of the next node.  So I would guess that an interface to MAC mapping would suffice.

Hello.

How exactly is a proper MAC address picked for outgoing frame? Is there an
additional mapping maintained between labels and ARP table on LSR?
