Tom,

Thanks for your response. It already answers part of my question. Can you indicate which value the xaMplsIfConfLabelMinIn should have for a row with ifIndex /= 0:
* The min label value of the **per interface** label space.
OR
* The min label value of all the labels in the per interface **and** per platform label spaces.

Best regards,

        Francis.

         Yes, it is within the realm of possibility to configure your label
ranges that way. However, what you are talking about is per-application
label space configuration, which is not what the MIB variable is getting at.
It is used to represent per-interface label range configuration or per-platform
label range configuration. These values are configured on interfaces, not on
applications. If you want to divide up the range further (i.e.: per 
application),
that is something the MIB was not intended to do.
