This is slightly off-topic, but I'm curious, so please forgive me.
Is the problem here with the basic MPLS specification (i.e. no semantics for
allowing a single label to refer to more than one out-bound link, precisely
to cleanly allow ECMP _at the switching level_), or with the control plane
(which doesn't allow multiple MPLS paths to be created for ECMP use to a
given destination)? Or both?
