LabelDistribution
AfterLDPsessionestablishment, labelsaredistributedfromtheTailEndroutertotheHeadEndrouterfor
eachprefix.Thisprocessoccursattheoppositedirectionofthedataplane.Atthedataplanethetrafficflow
goesformtheHeadEndtotheTailEnd.Butlabeldistributionprocessisdoneattheoppositedirection.

Withthesedistribution,LIBandtheLFIBtablesarefilled.
FIB,LIB,LFIB
These terms are very important terms in MPLS, We had also talked about this terms before, in the MPLS
articles.Buttorecall,Iwouldliketotellyouagainbelow.Letsbeginwithhowthistablesarefilled.
AlltheroutestoallthedestinationsareinRIB(RoutingInformationBase).Thebestroutestothedestinations
are choosed and stored in the Routing Table. Then the values in the Routing Table, are copied to the
FIB(ForwardingInformationBase).LabelsforallthedestinationsarestoredintheLIB(LabelInformation
Base).AndLFIB(LabelForwardingInformationBase)tableisfilledwiththebestroutesslabelvalues.

Here, maybe the above definitions seem complex. But I wrote this with its opposite to recall these MPLS
features.BecauseIthinkasme,youarealsoconfusedonthistermusually:)
LDPLabelWithdrawalandReleasemessages
If an LDP router realized a failure, it send a Withdrawal Message to notify the peers and remove the
binding.Whenthereceivingroutergetsthismessage,itsendaReleaseMessagetothesendingnode.

LDPauthentication
LDP sessions are established over TCP transport layer. Against the spoofed TCP segments MD5
authenticationisused.
