mpls-linux-1.108 and above generate keys for the outgoing label info.
Previously the key was the combination of "gen:16:eth0".  This prohibited
us from creating outgoing entries with the same label to differnt nexthops.

So the only time up use the -O gen:<label>:<if> syntax is during the create.
After that you should always use -O key:<key> syntax.  You can get the key
from /proc/net/mpls_out (it is also printed to STDOUT when the create succeeds.)

You can also look at my post:
