Neil, guess that tht is a fair question, it should be looked into, but I guess that it is out of scope for an update of the LDP spec. (I didn't say "implemenation specific :) ). For communication between LDP peers it is my take that we can trust TCP, after all that was one of the reasons chosing TCP. Now, if the protocol exchange information in a correct manner, but one implementation creates a label mapping that is errornous, this is not something we can address in the protocol specification, is it? /Loa neil.2.harrison@bt.com wrote: > Loa, > > I was meaning in general, ie labelled pkts.
