• Service Label (Inner Label)

Transport Label is the Label that is swapped in the Service Provider MPLS network in each LSR. It is the main MPLS Label.

Service Label is the Label, that is used to determine MPLS VPN Services. They stay during swap process in MPLS network, they only tranport from one LER to another LER. At the ingress LER, it is pushed with Transport Label. At the Egress LER it is popped with the Trasnport Label.
