Abstract:
   A MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) label was originally defined
   to identify a Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC), a packet is
   assigned to a specific FEC based on its network layer destination
   address.  It's difficult or even impossible to derive the source
   identity information from the label.  For some applications, source
   identification is a critical requirement.  For example, performance
   monitoring, where the monitoring node needs to identify where a
   packet was sent from.

   This document introduces the concept of Source Label (SL) that is
   carried in the label stack and used to identify the ingress Label
   Switching Router (LSR) of an Label Switched Path (LSP).
