Subject: Multicast MPLS and DMAC address

Hi all,

In IP multicast there is a mapping between IP multicast addresses
and multicast MAC addresses. I have not seen any documents 
dealing with mapping MPLS multicast labels to ethernet 
DMAC addresses.

I suppose that this means that both for unicast and multicast
the DMAC address of the ethernet frame is the next-hop MPLS
router.

Can anyone confirm this?

Im sure this has been discussed earlier but I was unable
to find a thread covering the subject. Any respone will be
appreciated.
