First of all R1 needs to forward the frame to 'r'.
I think this is what u meant [not the other way around]

Thanks for the correction.


At R1, there needs be a 2 level label stack for the LSP
corresponding to FEC x outgoing towards r
The bottom most is the one corresponding R2's label [value = 0]
The top most is the one corresponding to r's label [value = 'a']

Targeted session with 2 label stack (rsvp over ldp) is more to vendor implementation,
as per-RFC there's no requirement for targeted session that should be in two label stack format.

To be more precise, in targeted session w/ one label stack environment, is it acceptable
for transit LSR  to forward mpls frame with exp-null label ?
