MPLS Architecture Overview Jay Kumarasamyjayk@ Agenda MPLS Concepts MPLS: Multi Protocol Label Switching MPLS is a layer 2+ switching Developed to integrate IP and ATM MPLS forwarding is done in the same way as in ATM switches Packet forwarding is done based on Labels LSRs and Labels LSR: Label Switch Router Edge-LSR: LSRs that do label imposition and disposition ATM-LSR: An ATM switch with Label Switch Controller LSRs and Labels LSRs and Labels Uses new Ethertypes/PPP PIDs/SNAP values/etc More than one Label is allowed - Label Stack MPLS LSRs always forward packets based on the value of the label at the top of the stack Label Assignment and Distribution Label Assignment and Distribution Rtr-C is the downstream neighbor of Rtr-B for destination 171.68.10/24 Rtr-B is the downstream neighbor of Rtr-A for destination 171.68.10/24 LSRs know their downstream neighbors through the IP routing protocol Next-hop address is the downstream neighbor Label Assignment and Distribution LSRs distribute labels to the upstream neighbors Label Assignment and Distribution Label Switch Path (LSP) Label Switch Path (LSP) Penultimate Hop Popping Label Switch Path (LSP) Penultimate Hop Popping ATM LSRs ATM LSRs Non-Merging Downstream on Demand * 2001 Cisco Systems, Inc. * ? 2001, Cisco Systems. Adopted from Stefano Previdi’s presentation MPLS Concepts LSRs and labels Label assignment and distribution Label Switch Paths ATM LSRs Loops and TTL LDP overview Day in the Life of a Packet MPLS Concepts Unlike IP, classification/label can be based on: Destination Unicast address Traffic Engineering VPN QoS FEC: Forwarding Equivalence Class A FEC can represent a: Destination address prefix, VPN, Traffic Engineering tunnel, Class of Service.
