Abstract
The multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) community has focused its effort mainly on the label switching of unicast IP traffic, leaving the sections on multicast in the main MPLS documents virtually empty. This paper describes the issues that pop up when label switching is applied to LP multicast streams. At the end of the paper the approach taken in our prototype is advocated
