[mpls-linux-general] Unique index for in_labels

[Stefan W. <ma...@st...>]

Hello,

according to the new draft for MPLS-LSR-STD-MIB, InSegment Labels require a 
unique index that is not a composite of label and labelspace anymore. 
Instead, a single index is used.
Now, when I look into /proc/net/mpls_in, I can see a hexadecimal index in the 
first row for InSegments that would fulfill these needs. Problem is, that 
when adding the new InSegment, I cannot retrieve that index (as I can when 
creating new OutSegments).
In OutSegments, I get the index from mol_req.mol_label.u.ml_key.
But in InSegments, mil_req.mil_label.u.ml_key would only return the _label_, 
which is not a unique identifier. Is there any way to read the unique index 
from somewhere within mil_req after a successful add?

Greetings,

Stefan Winter
