Kevin,

MPLS VPN label must be unique per each vm/lxc on a given compute node. The
forwarding based on that label is done *only* on a given compute node (SAFI
128 next hop).

So you can have the same labels across compute nodes as the next hop will
be different.

But on a given compute node same label would result in switching incoming
packets to the same vm/lxc.

Cheers,
R.

PS. Label is 20 bits so I am not sure if 2^20 makes you any close to reach
the max VM limit per compute node :))
