I see where Roland is trying to go and he’s in the “magic byte” realm of the extra label makes it “OOB” where as the rest of us just see 1’s and 0’s on the wire and know a bit is a bit regardless of tag-switching (the original name for MPLS) or IEEE 802.1q label.
I know a bit is a bit, and it's on the same boxes and the same linecards and the same interfaces and the same RPs (if it comes to that). But keeping stuff separate at the IP logical network level is better than mixing it together, even on the same hardware. Doing it physically separately is best. ----------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net>
