MPLS Guide
3.2.3.3
Service OAM packets also include an entropy label and ELI if entropy label capability
is signaled for the corresponding tunnel and entropy label is enabled for the service.
The EL/ELI pair is inserted at the same level in the label stack as it is in user data
packets; that is, within the innermost LSP label context closest to the service payload
that has advertised entropy label capability. The EL/ELI pair will therefore always
reside at a different level in the label stack from special-purpose labels related to the
service payload (for example, the router alert label).
OAM packets at the LSP level, such as LSP ping and LSP trace, do not have the EL/
ELI pair inserted.
3.2.3.4
Segment routing with entropy label can be used with IPSec and NGE services and
with ESPI hashing, as listed below:
3.2.3.5
Figure 3
The iLER has entropy label enabled under an applicable service context and the
eLER has entropy label capability enabled. The iLER inserts the ELI and the EL into
the label stack. The entropy label value is based on the service ID for point-to-point
Layer 2 services.
