Per and Dimitri,
I would like to come down stronger than that, for me it is a very strong requirement that the same switch can handle both VLANs and GMPLs trafic correctly. I can't dsee how that could be done if using the VLAN tpid to indicate GMPLS traffic.

hi par, one of the possibilities that has been considered to cope with this requirement is to use a dedicated TPID for the Ethernet labeled frames; this would allow differentiated processing with non-labeled framesthanks.
That seems to make more sence. If that frame is to be sized like a 802.1q frame. There is not that much space left to a label. Or is the demand to use jumboframes ? Has there been any discussion on labelstacking, and mainly where to place the information?
Regards. Per
