Avoiding Branch LSR Replication on a LAN for P2MP LSPs P2MP RSVP-TE and LDP LSPs rely on branch LSR replication on a LAN For bandwidth optimization it is desirable for a branch LSR to transmit a single copy of a packet on a LAN Upstream label assignment allows a branch LSR, Ru, to transmit a single copy of a MPLS packet to Ru assigns an upstream assigned label and distributes it to each of Only a subset of |
