Re: [mpls] Doubt related to RFC 5036



Hi,

 

I think I misunderstood your question. What you are asking is whether you can bunch multiple label mappings in to the same label mapping message. The answer is No. Each label mapping message only maps one label to a set of FECs.

 

Regarding the hop count TLV, it could be used optionally.

thx Shahram.

 

but still i am not clear on the point that can i bunch number of FEC as well as same number of label associated with the different FECs in the same label mapping??

 

Hop count is required to prevent looping.

Hi,

 

Your understanding is correct. You can bunch a number of address prefixes and assign them to the same label. But why do you think a hop count TLV is needed?

hello all,

 

Can anybody help in understanding the statement in RFC 5036

"A FEC is a list of  one or more FEC elemets".

 

For example,

If there are three LDP enabled routers A--B--C.

50.50.50.1 ,50.50.50.2, 50.50.50.3 , 50.50.50.4 are the four /32 host connetced to the router C..

Router C will advertise four label associated with four /32 host.

So in the label mapping message,can router C aggregrate all the four FEC TLV and associated label with it or not?

will all four mentioned /32 host will be called FEC element of a FEC??

 

Can i really club the label mapping messages and send in one label mapping message??please help me to understand this.  

 

If we really can do this then in that case label mapping message should have a list of hop count TLV too,which is not specified in RFC.
