* * * * * Here is how MPLS actually works. Step 1A: a routing protocol such as OSPF, EIGRP, or IS-IS determines the layer 3 topology. A router builds a routing table as it “listens” to the network. A Cisco router or IP+ATM switch can have a routing function inside that does this. All devices in the network are building the layer 3 topology. Step 1B: The Label Distribution Protocol establishes label values for each device according to the routing topology, to pre-configure maps to destination points. Unlike ATM PVCs where the VPI/VCIs are manually assigned, labels are assigned automati
