I believe the most common case is that the packet is received on an interface which is a member of a VRF (yes, this implies MPLS VPNs). > what trigger converts the potential push into actual? The packet needs to be sent on a core-facing interface with MPLS enabled. (This doesn't always happen - the packet could also be sent on another interface which is a member of the same VRF, and thus would not need a label.) > suppose there is an MPLS cloud - running IGP,MPLS and LDP and there > are no TE-LSP'S and NO VPN's... > > and within the cloud i ftp from router x to router y --will that > traffic be label switched? No, why should it?
