[Les:] SRLB usage is not the same as SRGB usage.
SRLB is a local space for each node to allocate node private labels. There is
no notion of conflicting usage e.g. Node A can use 1000 as an adj-sid for one
of its links and Node B can use SID 1000 as an adj-sid for one of its links and
this is not a conflict. In other words the scope of the SIDs is local to the
advertising node.
Further, nodes are NOT required to validate that a private SID (such as an
adj-sid) is allocated from the SRLB of the advertising node - it is legal to
assign a SID from outside of this space - so - as Peter has indicated - other
routers do not make use of SRLB advertisements. IT is there for the convenience
of external entities only.
It should be obvious that advertising overlapping ranges makes the
advertisement ambiguous. Not sure what else needs to be said.
