I have all that on R1, R5, R8.....BGP send label. As a colleague
pointed out, my problem was that I have a route-map on R8 without the
command "set mpls-label".....I noticed that in the IPExpert Technical
Review they have the route-map on R1 with this knob.

With this knob on R8 or taking out the route-map, it works....

Turned out to be a 2-day headache for a simple issue (I had not known
about the set mpls-label knob until now).....

Interesting exercise.....

Hi Ravi,

there is probably no label switched path going through from end
to end. How is R8 configured? Is R8 allowed to do MPLS? Is R8 allowed
to do BGP? If yes, you could assign labels with BGP (address-family ipv4
unicast, neighbor .... send-label).

Is it an option to set up a GRE Tunnel between R5 and R1 to get around
the limitations of R8?
