MPLS Basics Labels Upstream and Downstream LSRs Labeled Packet Label Assignment and Distribution Attributes of a Label Binding Label Distribution Protocols Unsolicited Downstream vs. Downstream-on-Demand Label Retention Mode The Label Stack The Next Hop Label Forwarding Entry (NHLFE) Incoming Label Map (ILM) FEC-to-NHLFE Map (FTN) Label Swapping Scope and Uniqueness of Labels Label Switched Path (LSP), LSP Ingress, LSP Egress Penultimate Hop Popping LSP Next Hop Invalid Incoming Labels LSP Control: Ordered versus Independent Aggregation Route Selection Lack of Outgoing Label Time-to-Live (TTL) Loop Control Label Encodings – MPLS-specific Hardware and/or Software – ATM Switches as LSRs – Interoperability among Encoding Techniques Label Merging – Non-merging LSRs – Labels for Merging and Non-Merging LSRs – Merge over ATM – Methods of Eliminating Cell Interleave – Interoperation: VC Merge, VP Merge, and Non-Merge Tunnels and Hierarchy – Hop-by-Hop Routed Tunnel – Explicitly Routed Tunnel – LSP Tunnels – Hierarchy: LSP Tunnels within LSPs – Label Distribution Peering and Hierarchy Label Distribution Protocol Transport Why More than one Label Distribution Protocol? – BGP and LDP – Labels for RSVP Flowspecs – Labels for Explicitly Routed LSPs Multicast |

Some Applications of MPLS MPLS and Hop by Hop Routed Traffic – Labels for Address Prefixes – Distributing Labels for Address Prefixes – Label Distribution Peers for an Address Prefix – Distributing Labels – Using the Hop by Hop path as the LSP – LSP Egress and LSP Proxy Egress – The Implicit NULL Label – Option: Egress-Targeted Label Assignment MPLS and Explicitly Routed LSPs – Explicitly Routed LSP Tunnels Label Stacks and Implicit Peering MPLS and Multi-Path Routing LSP Trees as Multipoint-to-Point Entities LSP Tunneling between BGP Border Routers Other Uses of Hop-by-Hop Routed LSP Tunnels MPLS and Multicast |

Label Distribution Procedures (Hop-by-Hop) The Procedures for Advertising and Using labels – Downstream LSR: Distribution Procedure – PushUnconditional – PushConditional – PulledUnconditional – PulledConditional – Upstream LSR: Request Procedure – RequestNever – RequestWhenNeeded – RequestOnRequest – Upstream LSR: Not Available Procedure – RequestRetry – RequestNoRetry – Upstream LSR: Release Procedure – ReleaseOnChange – NoReleaseOnChange – Upstream LSR: label Use Procedure – Downstream LSR: Withdraw Procedure MPLS Schemes: Supported Combinations of Procedures – Schemes for LSRs that Support Label Merging – Schemes for LSRs that do not Support Label Merging – Interoperability Considerations |
