Labels would only be assigned to IGP routes, which are typically limited to backbone and Loopback interfaces. As customer routes aren't carried in the IGP (unless you're my competitor, so go right ahead, hehe), that is not an issue. Granted, you use more FIB slots than you would have if you were simply filtering against Loopback addresses, but this is a function of, as you say, scale, i.e., how many backbone links are in the network. Also, this is less of a problem for newer platforms that have larger and/or discrete FIB's, and also quicker control planes. If Cisco had a command that implemented the Junos behaviour, e.g,., "mpls ldp label allocation loopbacks-only" without needing to tinker around with filters, I'd be the first one to implement it :-). Mark.
