Multiprotocol Label Switching - Other MPLS Applications

7 important questions on Multiprotocol Label Switching - Other MPLS Applications

What is the abbreviation for FEC?

Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC)

What is a FEC?

FEC is a set of packets that recieves the same forwarding treatment by a single LSR

What can you do with MPLS FEC?

MPLS traffic engineering (TE) allows MPLS networks to choose to send some packets over one LSP and other packets over another LSP, based on traffic loading

What is the FEC and Control Protocol Used to Exchange FEC-to-Label Binding for the application Multicast IP routing?

-Multicast IP routes in the global multicast IP routing tabel
-PIM_V2

What is the FEC and Control Protocol Used to Exchange FEC-to-Label Binding for the application VPN?

-Unicast IP routes in the VRF routing table
-MP-BGP

What is the FEC and Control Protocol Used to Exchange FEC-to-Label Binding for the application Traffic engineering?

-MPLS TE tunnels (configured)
-RSVP or CR-LDP

CR-LDP is almost same as basic LDP, in packet structure, but it contains some extra TLVs which basically set up the constraint-based LSP

What is the FEC and Control Protocol Used to Exchange FEC-to-Label Binding for the application MPLS QoS?

-IP routing table and the ToS byte
-Extensions to TDP and LDP
