[mpls] Label number mapping

Hi, all.

Perhaps I'm missing something but I've got a question about mpls.

Should there be some previous agreement between lsr about label numbers to 
be mapped and flooded?
If so, where the specs talk about this?

Have a look to the following scenario; let's suppose we are using 
unsolicited ordered control:

	a ------ x ------ y ------- b

1.- x and y are mpls lsr.
2.- x is egress for a then it maps label 1 to fec a, install it for 
forwarding and advertise this map to y.
3.- y is egress for b then it maps label 1 to fec b, install it for 
forwarding and advertise this map to x.
4.- x tries to install mapping 1-b received from y.
5.- y tries to install mapping 1-a received from x.
6.- Then both lsr could have the same label "1" mapped to two different 
fecs: a and b.

Is this possible? Is there something I haven't understand yet?

Best regards,

Leonardo Balliache
