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 on a P2MP LSP on a LAN
Ru assigns an upstream assigned label and distributes it to each of
Only a subset of may support upstream label assignment and the other LSRs will continue to use downstream label assignment – packets will be replicated for these LSRs
