targeted ldp

The video walks you through configuration of Cisco Any Transport over MPLS (AToM). Since Ethernet circuit has become much more common nowadays, we will only focus on providing Layer 2 VPN connectivity using point-to-point Ethernet (EoMPLS) which is considered a type of Virtual Private Wire Service (VPWS). We will compare various mode of operation including Port mode, VLAN mode, and VLAN translation. To get better insight of the underlying protocol and frame structure, we will perform Wireshark packet capture and review control and data packets.

The video shows a way of reducing convergence time of LDP on Cisco router with targeted LDP. You will see how targeted LDP is able to maintain LDP session to a neighbor router even after a link to that router has gone down so they do not need to go through session establishment and label exchange after link recovery, and, hence, improve convergence time. While targeted LDP requires specific configuration between two LDP peers, session protection allows you to create targeted LDP to all neighbors with essentially a single command and this will also be covered in this video.
