Traffic engineering: An attractive feature of MPLS
MPLS technology: - n MPLS is working on “Push—Swap—POP” methodology. n PUSH : iLER--- (ingress Label Edge router) – add Label at the edge of router. it is done by PE router. n SWAP : Label swapping – Label is swapped between P routers. LSP (Label Switched Path) is used to forward packet from Source to destination. Labels are Swapped between these P routers and built between border PE routers. n POP : eLER--- (Egress Label Edge router) – it is used to remove label. But sometimes label removal process is done before the edge of last PE router, last P router which is called as PHP (Penultimate HOP Popping). M PLS Label Mechanism: - - Basically, two labels are used in MPLS. 1. Transport label 2. Service label 1. Transport Label:- ...
