The MPLS WG Archive[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next] [Date Index][Thread Index][Author Index][Subject Index] doubt in LDP Label Mapping procedure.
Hi all,
In the ldp-06 draft in Appendix A, in procedure of label mapping message,
LMp. 14 says is the LSR ingress for FEC?
How an LSR can know beforehand that it is ingress for a particular FEC? A
particular LSR can be egress for a particular FEC, but whether it is
ingress or not is dependent upon the source from where packet is entering
MPLS domain.
Consider
A-----------B-------------D
|
C___________|
Here let a set of 4 routers A, B, C, D be the MPLS domain. When packet
enters this domain through A , A is the ingress and when it enters through
C, C is the ingress, If there is also a link between A & C and
shprtest path to B from A is via C, C will be ingress for a set of packets
but it won't be ingress for other set of packets, So how can you decide
beforehand that C is ingress or not?
