MPLS Unicast/Multicast

Sharam,

If you care about interoperability, you must.  The distinction
between unicast and multicast labels is important because the 
label allocation process is different for each.

See the following message from the MPLS archives:
http://cell.onecall.net/mhonarc/mpls/2000-Nov/msg00224.html
for more information about this.
