MPLS

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a label switching technology that provides the ability to

set up connection-oriented paths over a connection less IP network. MPLS facilitates network

traffic flow and provides a mechanism to engineer network traffic patterns independently from

routing tables. MPLS sets up a specific path for a sequence of packets. The packets are identified

by a label inserted into each packet. MPLS is not enabled by default and must be explicitly

enabled.

MPLS is independent of any routing protocol but is considered multiprotocol because it works

with the Internet Protocol (IP) and frame relay network protocols.

7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, Mxp MPLS Configuration Guide Page 19

MPLS Label Stack

MPLS requires a set of procedures to enhance network layer packets with label stacks which

thereby turns them into labeled packets. Routers that support MPLS are known as Label Switching

Routers (LSRs). In order to transmit a labeled packet on a particular data link, an LSR must

support the encoding technique which, when given a label stack and a network layer packet,

produces a labeled packet.

In MPLS, packets can carry not just one label, but a set of labels in a stack. An LSR can swap the

label at the top of the stack, pop the stack, or swap the label and push one or more labels into the

stack. The processing of a labeled packet is completely independent of the level of hierarchy. The

processing is always based on the top label, without regard for the possibility that some number of

other labels may have been above it in the past, or that some number of other labels may be below

it at present.

As described in RFC 3032, MPLS Label Stack Encoding, the label stack is represented as a

sequence of label stack entries. Each label stack entry is represented by 4 octets. Figure 1 displays

the label placement in a packet.

Figure 1: Label Placement

Table 2: Packet/Label Field Description

Field Description

Label This 20-bit field carries the actual value (unstructured) of the label.

Exp This 3-bit field is reserved for experimental use. It is currently used for Class of

Service (CoS).

S This bit is set to 1 for the last entry (bottom) in the label stack, and 0 for all

other label stack entries.

TTL This 8-bit field is used to encode a TTL value.

MPLS

Page 20 7210 SAS M, T, X, R6, Mxp MPLS Configura-

tion Guide

A stack can carry several labels, organized in a last in/first out order. The top of the label stack

appears first in the packet and the bottom of the stack appears last (Figure 2).

Figure 2: Label Packet Placement

The label value at the top of the stack is looked up when a labeled packet is received. A successful

lookup reveals:

• The next hop where the packet is to be forwarded.

• The operation to be performed on the label stack before forwarding.

In addition, the lookup may reveal outgoing data link encapsulation and other information needed

to properly forward the packet.

An empty label stack can be thought of as an unlabeled packet. An empty label stack has zero (0)

depth. The label at the bottom of the stack is referred to as the Level 1 label. The label above it (if

it exists) is the Level 2 label, and so on. The label at the top of the stack is referred to as the Level

m label.

Labeled packet processing is independent of the level of hierarchy. Processing is always based on

the top label in the stack which includes information about the operations to perform on the

packet's label stack.
