MPLS uses labels as its method of directing data between nodes. The protocol responsible for allowing MPLS nodes to learn about each others' labels is the Label Distribution Protocol or LDP. In this video, I'll be showing you how LDP works, how it advertises labels between nodes. We'll also take a look at the internal constructs in the control and forwarding planes within each MPLS router that make the direction of data between nodes possible.

These include the following constructs:
Routing Information Base (RIB)
Forwarding Information Base (FIB)
Label Information Base (LIB)
Label Forwarding Information Base (LFIB)

In this video series on MPLS, you’ll learn where MPLS fits within the broader networking landscape, the problems it was designed to solve, and the key benefits it offers, such as improved traffic management, scalability, and support for multiple services.
