MPLS LDP (Multi-Protocol Label Switching Label Distribution Protocol) is a protocol used for establishing and maintaining label-switched paths in MPLS networks.
MPLS LDP Definition: MPLS LDP (Multi-Protocol Label Switching Label Distribution Protocol) is a protocol used for establishing and maintaining label-switched paths in MPLS networks.
MPLS LDP, or Multiprotocol Label Switching Label Distribution Protocol, is a signaling protocol used in MPLS networks to establish and maintain Label Switched Paths (LSPs). It enables routers to distribute and exchange MPLS labels which are used to forward packets along predetermined paths through the network. LDP helps in creating a unified, efficient, and scalable network infrastructure by facilitating the forwarding of data packets based on labels rather than network addresses.
