Title: Re: [MPLS-OPS]: Juniper MPLS

I would like to differ.  Junos does NOT treat LDP as a routing protocol and completely relies on the IGP for things loop prevention and ordered label control.  It has an admin distance but in most cases is irrelevant without turning on some additional knobs.  

There are a lot of differences between the two and mtu might be only one of many.  Ask any big proivder that has deployed both in an MPLS environment for the right answer.. I know what most would say.
