Abstract:
   Some MPLS labels have been allocated for specific purposes.  A block
   of labels (0-15) has been set aside to this end, and are commonly
   called "reserved labels".  They will be called "special purpose
   labels" in this document.

   As there are only 16 of these special purpose labels, caution is
   needed in the allocation of new special purpose labels, yet at the
   same time allow forward progress when one is called for.

   This memo defines new procedures to follow in the allocation and
   retirement of special purpose labels, as well as a method to extend
   the special purpose label space.  Finally, this memo renames the IANA
   registry for these labels to "Special Purpose MPLS Label Values", and
   creates a new one called the "Extended Special Purpose MPLS Label
   Values" registry.

   This document updates a number of previous RFCs that used the term
   "reserved label".
