Graceful Restart Mechanism for Label Distribution Protocol [PDF]
Request for Comments, 2003 This document describes a mechanism that helps to minimize the negative effects on MPLS traffic caused by Label Switching Router's (LSR's) control plane restart, specifically by the restart of its Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) component, on LSRs that

Security Analysis of the MPLS Label Distribution Protocol [PDF]
Critical Infrastructure Protection, 2010 Since its inception more than a decade ago, multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) has become one of the fastest-growing telecommunications infrastructure technologies. The speed, flexibility, sophisticated traffic management and cost savings offered by MPLS have prompted service providers to converge existing and new technologies onto common MPLS ...

Fault Tolerance for the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) [PDF]
Request for Comments, 2003 Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) systems will be used in core networks where system downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum. Many MPLS Label Switching Routers (LSRs) may, therefore, exploit Fault Tolerant (FT) hardware or software to provide ...

Pseudowire Setup and Maintenance Using the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
Request for Comments, 2006 Layer 2 services (such as Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode, and Ethernet) can be emulated over an MPLS backbone by encapsulating the Layer 2 Protocol Data Units (PDUs) and then transmitting them over pseudowires (PWs).
