MPLS Entropy Label Encapsulation Support

This feature allows you to improve load balancing across MPLS networks using entropy labels.

When this feature is configured at the ingress interface where MPLS is encapsulated, a DPI is performed to generate an entropy label. The load balancing is carried out on the entropy label. This eliminates the need for DPI to be performed on transit routers or overloading some network paths.
