Making use of MPLS labels #23

Open TribuneX opened 8 years ago

TribuneX commented 8 years ago

Hi all,

I want to open a discussion on why we actually use the dst MAC field for encoding path information. In my opinion it is something similar MPLS label switching.

So what are the reasons for rethinking label switching based on the dst MAC rather than using existing systems such as MPLS labels.
