Hi,

I've one question regarding MPLS (Context: MPLS support of 
DiffServ).

Consider a scenario where in a client (sender) H1 can send traffic 
belonging to all classes of service (EF,AF,BE) to a destination 
D1. And the traffic from H1 has to pass through a MPLS cloud to 
reach D1. Let us also assume that all the routers in that MPLS 
domain support DiffServ.

Ingress router of this MPLS domain, which is attached to H1, has 
to establish more than one LSPs for the same FEC (desination D1), 
in order to service the traffic from H1.

Now my question is, if there are more than one LSPs for the same 
FEC then how the Ingress router will decide as to which LSP the 
data packet belongs to since there will be more than one NHLFE 
entries for the same FEC.

Wonder if anyone comments on this. TIA.

Regards,
-Harish
