Hi co-authors of the abvove draft,

In you draft, it said"As usual, each PE allocates a local label for each prefix it can reach through an external neighbor CE. This is the primary label used for normal traffic forwarding." and "To provide repair path information to all PEs, the PE also allocates a repair label to the prefix if it can reach that prefix via an external neighbor."

Does it mean the external path which the repair label is associated with is a best external path? If so, could you explain what's difference between the above draft and this draft (http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-xu-idr-best-external-loop-avoidance-00).

BR,

Xiaohu
