MVPN Video 6 - Multipoint LSPs with mLDP Deep Dive (Multipoint Label Distribution Protocol)

This is the sixth video of a series on Multicast VPNs (MVPN) and their implementation on both IOS and IOS-XR routers with a focus on CCIE candidate requirements. In this video, introduce the topic of Multipoint Label Distribution Protocol (MLDP mLDP) before delving deeper into the mechanics and procedures used in mLDP. We also introduce the following MLDP concepts and the benefit MLSP and MLDP provide in a provider MPLS core 1. P2MP LSPs (Point to Multipoint Label Switched Path) 2. MP2MP LSPs (Multipoint to Multipoint Label Switched Path) The other topics include: MLDP P2MP FEC (Point to Multipoint Forwarding Equivalence Class) MLDP P2MP FEC components MLDP P2MP FEC MPLS label distribution MLDP MP2MP Downstream FEC (Multipoint to Multipoint Forwarding Equivalence Class) MLDP MP2MP Upstream FEC (Multipoint to Multipoint Forwarding Equivalence Class) MLDP MP2MP Loop prevention in the MPLS forwarding plane (LFIB)
