Cheat Sheet: MPLS Key Terms

This document defines key terms related to MPLS (Multiprotocol Label Switching), including: RIB, FIB, LIB, and LFIB which refer to routing and forwarding tables; LSR and Edge LSR which are types of routers; FEC which defines similar packets; LSP which are predetermined paths; PHP which removes labels before reaching the edge; how MPLS is used for VPNs; and control and data planes. It also lists protocols like IGP, LDP, RSVP-TE, and MP-BGP used with MPLS and examples of MPLS VPNs.
