Subject: E-LSP setup

Hello

I have the following doubt and questions. (If my questions are stupid forgive me :) )

For an E-LSP setup signaled with EXP<-->PHB mapping
the EXP values and the associated PHBID values are
provided in the DIFFSERV object /Diff-Serv TLV. The number of
mappings is indicated by the "MAPnb"

My doubts are

1) If an upstream node wishes to signal an E-LSP for 
'n' EXP<-->PHB mappings ( n could be 8 ), should
all the 'n' mappings be given in a single Path / Label
request message?

2) Suppose we can send 'n' Path /Label request messages
each message carrying one EXP<--> PHB mapping
should the downstream node assign the same "label"
value in the Resv / Label mapping message? 

Else

Is the Path/ Label request sent, label allocated etc.,
are implementation dependent?

thanks in advance
with best regards
