    MPLS is a switching mechanism that uses labels to forward packets through a network. It consists of a control plane that exchanges routing information and labels and a data plane that forwards packets using labels rather than IP addresses. Every node in the network assigns labels to destinations in its routing table and advertises these labels to neighboring nodes so that packets are forwarded using label switching across the MPLS domain.

    Module Summary

    • MPLS is a switching mechanism that uses labels to forward packets.


    • MPLS consists of two major components: control plane and data
    plane. The control plane exchanges routing information and labels,
    while the data plane forwards packets or cells.
    • Every LSR assigns a label for every destination in the IP routing
    table. Although labels are locally significant, they have to be
    advertised to directly reachable peers. Packets are forwarded using
    labels from the LFIB table rather than the IP routing table.
    • MPLS configuration tasks include configuring IP CEF, tag switching,
    and setting MTU size.
    • MPLS VPN architecture combines the best features of the overlay
    and peer-to-peer VPN models. PE routers forward packets across
    the MPLS VPN backbone using label stacking.
