Establishing LSPs
 Static LSPs are set up manually.

 Dynamic LSPs are set up automatically by the label

distribution protocol

LDP Basic Concept
 LDP is a protocol used to establish LDP Session between
LSRs and exchange Label/FEC mapping information

LDP Sessions
 Local LDP session: an LDP session between the two LSRs
that are directly connected.

 Remote LDP session: an LDP session between the two

LSRs that are directly or indirectly connected.

LDP LSP
 The LSP establishment is the process of binding an FEC
with the label and advertising the binding relationship to
LSRs on the LSP.
