Load balancing draft

Hi,

One of the criticism for this draft was that it is designed to overcome
Y.1711 limitation, in which a reserved label is used. As I mentioned
in the meeting the MPLS-Ping also requires usage of an extra reserved
label for non-IP carrying LSPs:

  "To test an LSP that carries non-IP traffic, before injecting ICMP and
   MPLS ping messages into the LSP, the IPv4 Explicit NULL label should
   be prepended to such messages."

So this draft is equally applicable to MPLS-ping. 

Yours,
Shahram
