Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks which directs and carries data from one network node to the
next with the help of labels. MPLS makes it easy to create "virtual links" between distant nodes. It can encapsulate packets of various network protocols

• • MPLS deployment• MPLS is currently in use in IP-only networks
and is standardized by the IETF in RFC 3031. It is deployed to connect as few as two facilities to very large deployments. For example, in the retail sector, it is not uncommon to see deployments of 2000 to 5000 locations to communicate transaction data to a headquarters data center.
• In practice, MPLS is mainly used to forward IP datagrams and Ethernet traffic. Major applications of MPLS are telecommunications traffic engineering and MPLS VPN

• How MPLS works• MPLS works by prefixing packets with an MPLS header,
containing one or more "labels". This is called a label stack. Each label stack entry contains four fields
• A 20-bit label value.• a 3-bit Traffic Class field for QoS (quality of service)
priority (experimental) and ECN (Explicit Congestion Notification).
• a 1-bit bottom of stack flag. If this is set, it signifies that the current label is the last in the stack.
• an 8-bit TTL (time to live) field.

Motivation (cont.)
• ATM– connection oriented
- Supports QoS– fast packet switching with fixed length packets
(cells)– integration of different traffic types (voice, data,
video)
… but there are also disadvantages

Motivation (cont.)
• ATM disadvantages– Complex– Expensive– Not widely adopted

• Multi Protocol Label Switching is arranged between Layer 2 and Layer 3

MPLS Basics (cont.)
• MPLS Characteristics– Mechanisms to manage traffic flows of various
granularities (Flow Management)– Is independent of Layer-2 and Layer-3 protocols – Maps IP-addresses to fixed length labels– Interfaces to existing routing protocols (RSVP,
OSPF)– Supports ATM, Frame-Relay and Ethernet

Label-Switched Paths - LSPs
• A path is established before the data transmission starts.
• A path is a representation of a FEC.
![Page 13: MPLS deployment](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681652e550346895dd7b13b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
LSP Details• MPLS provides two options to set up an LSP
– hop-by-hop routingEach LSR independently selects the next hop for a given FEC. LSRs support any available routing protocols (OSPF, ATM …).
– explicit routingIs similar to source routing. The ingress LSR specifies the list of nodes through which the packet traverses.
• The LSP setup for an FEC is unidirectional. The return traffic must take another LSP!
![Page 14: MPLS deployment](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681652e550346895dd7b13b/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Label Distribution Protocol - LDP
• An application layer protocol for the distribution of label binding information to LSRs.– It is used to map FECs to labels, which, in turn,
create LSPs. – LDP sessions are established between LDP peers in
the MPLS network (not necessarily adjacent).– Sometimes employs OSPF or BGP.
![Page 15: MPLS deployment](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681652e550346895dd7b13b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
LDP details
• LDP message types: – discovery messages—announce and maintain the presence of
an LSR in a network – session messages—establish, maintain, and terminate sessions
between LDP peers – advertisement messages—create, change, and delete label
mappings for FECs – notification messages—provide advisory information and signal
error information

CR-LDP
• Takes into account parameters, such as link characteristics (bandwidth, delay, etc.), hop count, and QoS.
• It is entirely possible that a longer (in terms of cost) but less loaded path is selected.
• Drawback: It adds more complexity to routing calculations.

MPLS Operation
• The following steps must be taken for a data packet to travel through an MPLS domain. – label creation and distribution – table creation at each router – label-switched path creation – label insertion/table lookup – packet forwarding
![Page 19: MPLS deployment](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062302/5681652e550346895dd7b13b/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)

Tunneling in MPLS
• Control the entire path of a packet without explicitly specifying the intermediate routers. – Creating tunnels through the intermediary routers
that can span multiple segments. • MPLS based VPNs.

MPLS Disadvantages
• An additional layer is added• The router has to understand MPLS
