Chapter 2. MPLS Forwarding Basics
Chapter 2. MPLS Forwarding Basics
This chapter covers the following topics:
Chapter 1, “Understanding Traffic Engineering with MPLS,” provided the history and motivation for MPLS. This chapter familiarizes you with the fundamental concepts of MPLS-based forwarding. It serves as a refresher if you are already familiar with MPLS and it is a good introduction if you are not. Chapters 3 through 11 deal with MPLS Traffic Engineering. You should read the MPLS drafts, RFCs, and other reference materials listed in Appendix B,“CCO and Other References,” to obtain a more complete understanding of other MPLS topics.
