Label Set and Suggested Label

["manoj juneja" <manojkumarjuneja@hotmail.com>]

Hi All,
        In the GMPLS drafts, it is mentioned that the use of label set
is in the following cases :

           a) End equipment is only capable of transmitting and
              receiving on a small set of wavelengths.
           b) There are sequence of interfaces which can't support
              wavelength conversion.
           c) It is desireable to limit the amount of wavelength
              conversion to reduce the distortion on the optical
              signals.
           d) Two ends of a link support different sets of wavelengths.

All the above four points are valid only in case LSP encoding type is
lambda. Does this mean if a label set is received in cases where LSP
encoding type is other than Lambda, it should be ignored or considered
protocol error ?

What about the suggested Label ? Is it also defined to take care of
specific LSP encoding type ?

Please Clarify.

Regards,
manoj.
