Figure 10 Label advertisement modes

LDP advertises label-FEC mappings in one of the following ways:

Downstream Unsolicited (DU) mode—Distributes FEC-label mappings to the upstream LSR, without
waiting for label requests. The device supports only the DU mode.

Downstream on Demand (DoD) mode—Sends a label request for a FEC to the downstream LSR.
After receiving the label request, the downstream LSR distributes the FEC-label mapping for that FEC

to the upstream LSR.

NOTE:

A pair of upstream and downstream LSRs must use the same label advertisement mode. Otherwise, the
LSP cannot be established.
