Hi,

Very nice !

But is there a reason why this approach would not work for vanilla LDP ?

If ABRs can aggregate MPLS labels and generate aggregate SID they could as
well generate aggregate FECs.
And we do have for years the ability to use LPM for MPLS too.

Of course perhaps folks are moving away from LDP these days and jump on to
SR, but I am curious if there
is a similar proposal in respect to MPLS with LDP.

With the above you statement in Abstract and Info while atomically correct
is opaque to the draft:

"Contrary to this, MPLS forwarding works on exact match on MPLS labels."

In all cases there would be an exact match in the data plane. But the
control plane in both can use LPM too
to select which label(s) to put on the stack.

Best,
R.
