[MPLS-OPS]: Creating labels when VRF defined?

if i understand your question - the aggregate label simply means the packet
arrives with the vpn label, it will be removed and the pe does not have
next-hop information, so it must do a fib lookup.

Subject: [MPLS-OPS]: Creating labels when VRF defined?


Hello,
What is the use of the aggregate label?

Why will we ever want to create and assign a label (i think they call it the
aggregate
label) when a VRF is created?

I can understand the utility of assigning labels when some interfaces are
bound to the
VRFs but not when only a VRF is created?

Any pointers on why we may want to do that?

Regards,
JS
