When does LDP come into picture? Is it when a router breaks down? What happens when i add a new router? Can i use LDP? When, how and where is LDP useful? If you use a signalling protocol (which are LDPs) like RSVP-TE or CR-LDP at the edge routers to distribute label information, the LSP is set automatically else, you do manual label path setup. LDP is just setting up of this path automatically by distributing label information depending on some calcualtion done at the edges. Thus, to be more precise LDP is a mechanism for distributing label-to-FEC binding information in the network. > - Thanks in advance > > > > ____________________________________ > > Dr. (Ms.) M.V.
