I assume you mean label type and not value.
label type = http://schemas.ogf.org/nml/2012/10/ethernet
label value = 1780
(AFAIK)
But I guess most switching services would have a label type defined.
However I can up with a pedantic example: If you want to show, that you
can NOT switch any labels an encoding, you could have a switching service
that has an encoding and labelSwapping="false".
This also raises a question regarding the default behaviour in NML. Can
all ports (of the same encoding) be connected by default (this is what we
have now), or should there be a switching service explicitely stating
which ports can be cross-connected?
