Hi, During the second MPLS session last week, there are lot of discussions on the source label, thanks for the discussions! Regarding to the usage of source label, there may be some misunderstanding. The main purpose of source label is for OAM, although the source label can be applied to real packets, but it's optional, it depends on how you use it. In addition, regarding to the depth of label stack, IMHO, this is proved that is not an real issue for the new generation hardware (chips and NPs), the depth is only related the need. Best regards, Mach
