Explore MPLS basics, including label switching, forward decisions with longest match, and how label distribution protocols like LDP or RSVP enable traffic engineering and LSPs.
Describe how MPLS inserts a label between the IP header and the link, enabling label switched path forwarding and label distribution protocols.
Construct an lsp between routers using RSVP and OSPF, observe label distribution and exchange, and forward traffic with the label stack rather than routing tables.
Explore the label distribution protocol (LDP) for MPLS, its role alongside BGP and RSVP, and how LDP sessions, hello packets, and notification messages establish label mapping across a simulated topology.
Configure LDP with BGP next hop in an MPLS topology and establish iBGP sessions. Verify iBGP sessions between R1, R2, and R3, export static routes, and observe labels.
Configure ldp on all interfaces after ensuring an igp is running, using interface groups for consistency. Validate ldp neighbors and adjacency across logical systems to enable mpls label distribution.

Explore RSVP overview, its role with IGP for traffic engineering, and how RSVP enables label exchange through messages, filters, and ipv4/ipv6 support.

This video helps to understand different aspects of an RSVP session. Attached is the Ipython Notebook for the session, the default Github link course should display it just fine.
note- Please note you won't be able to execute the Ipython notebook as the environment and server are not local to you, provided the notebook is to help you revise slides and the outputs that we gathered during the course.
Thie Session explores PATH message and we will analyse packet captures, all the outputs are saved in python notebook for easier reference, you will not be able to execute commands as there will not working environment connected in iPython
