Hi Paolo,

I've just tested the new CVS version. Indeed the three primitives 
mpls_label_bottom and mpls_label_top show in our aggregations. The combination 
of this and *_iface primitives would help us classify traffic from the core 
side.

I'll work a bit more on it to come up with a process that combines with it SNMP 
(for interface indices and labels resolution). If it is generic enough, I will 
contribute it.

p.s. Some guys in my team are getting a bit more greedy: They were wondering 
about the mplsVpnRouteDistinguisher (#90) and VRF stuff (#234, #235, #236). If 
I have time next week, I might just add them myself (unless you are already 
working on that).

Thanks again for the great work!
