LDP uses TCP to send the label mappings to its peers. So in case of a  
large number of P2MP LSP we will take maximum benefit of the flow  
control en reliability in TCP, I don't think we can do better then  
that. I think the real problem behind the need to send many updates is  
that during that time, which increases with the number of updates, you  
have traffic loss.

Thx,

Ice.
