Lets say we want to build explicit routed label stack which says " give me load

Lets say there is another set of nodes R3 and R4 and similar S1 and S2 bundles
on them and R3 advertising label 30 and 40 for S1 and S2
Respectively. Labels are local to the nodes and we cannot use labels to
identify what characteristic or set they stand for.
To satisfy the constraint whether to use label 10
Or 20 on R1 and whether to use 30 or 40 is a problem. The application which is
trying to build the label stack cannot identify which label to use from R1 and
R3 because there are sets and labels but which label Represents
which set is missing.
If there is an identifier for the set and this identifier comes with label it
can be done easily.
If I understand you correctly, what you want to color links based on the
link characteristics - e.g. you want to associate link with a group
(color) and group (color) to have global significance.
Sure, you can do that, but I do not see a direct relationship to SR,
e.g. I would not add the group-id to the Adj-SID sub-TLV. You can define
a new sub-TLV for the group-id distribution and advertise it in the
Extended link TLV.

Peter
