Regarding the Treating LDP as a routing protocol I was only partially right and I stand corrected. The point I was trying to make is that juniper treats LDP differently then cisco. By the way I don't think that any of them have superiority on the other on all aspects. I don't tend to make definitive choices between vendors. It depends on many factors and situations. In my network there are routers of both.

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.

The important thing , especially if you have experience with one and not with the other is to be aware of different behavior. For example juniper treats LDP as a routing protocol in every aspect. It even has its own preference (what cisco calls admin distance). They also compute l3 mtu differently (for the same l2 mtu juniper decreases more bytes then the cisco). Just my two cents.

Could anyone provide good literature with examples, tips and tricks, etc, besides what is included in Junos documentation? Thanks in advance!
