25.6 control-mode
Use this command to set the control mode for label processing. Use the no parameter to revert to
default control mode.
Note:
Ordered processing sets the mode to strict chain-of-command ;an LSR replies to a
request packet from an LSR higher in the chain only after it receives a label from
an LSR lower in the chain. Independent processing sets the mode to instant
replies.
In independent control mode, each LSR might advertise label mappings to its
neighbors at any time. An LSR might advertise a label mapping for an FEC to its
neighbors whenever it is prepared to label-switch that FEC.
In ordered control mode, an LSR may initiate the transmission of label mapping
only for an FEC for which it has a label mapping for the FEC next hop, or for
which the LSR is the egress.
Changes in control mode only affect labels that were sent to or received after the
change was made.
