Label Set Object/Tlv



 
hai ,

            In draft-ietf-mpls-generalized-cr-ldp-06.txt
      2.5.1. Procedures
                A Label Set is defined via one or more Label Set TLVs.
Specific
               labels/subchannels can be added to or excluded from a Label
Set via
               Action zero (0) and one (1) TLVs respectively.  Ranges of
               labels/subchannels can be added to or excluded from a Label
Set via
               Action two (2) and three (3) TLVs respectively.

    The first line of the sec 2.5.1 says a label set is defined via one or
more LabelSet TLVs. My interpretation
    about this is that a label request can have multiple Label Set TLVs in
it with different action types corresponding
     to each label set TLV. Am i right ??
     If  i am wrong please do clarify ...

     If yes, then assume i get a request with one label set TLV with action
type 0 which has a list of labels
    and other Label set TLV with action type 1 which has a range of Labels.
Now in this case i go about
    picking up a label from the second label set TLV only if i am not able
to pick up a label from the first
    label set TLV....Is that true ??

    Now situation may get even worse when i have a Label set TLV with action
type to include a label
    set and other Label Set TLV with action type exclude. I knoe such
situations are not practical but
    sure needs to be handled someway.

    Please do clarify
