Yaakov, I agree that protocol number 137 is correct, but to be precise, the PW packet does have an MPLS header with a PW label, it just doesn't have a tunnel label, because that's been replaced by the IP header. I added the MPLS WG on this reply since the liaison was sent to both WGs, and in fact I think the return liaison should be generated by the MPLS WG, since it was the source of RFC 4023.
