An LSR inserts the EL Indicator and the EL label only if the LSR that pops them has the capability of processing them. This draft defines a mechanism to signal that capability using link state Interior Gateway Protocols (IGP). This mechanism is useful when the label advertisement is also done via that IGP.}, }
