MPLS Manager discovers the adjacencies and sessions that are identified in LDP adjacencies and RSVP sessions.

Figure 1. LDP adjacencies and RSVP sessions

where:

  • Non-targeted LDP adjacencies are sessions between peer LDP speakers, on directly connected PE or P devices, that are used to construct LDP LSPs.

  • Targeted LDP adjacencies are sessions between peer LDP speakers, on PE devices, that are used to construct bidirectional LSP paths for LDP-signaled L2VPNs. The bidirectional LSP paths are known as pseudowires.

  • RSVP sessions are sessions between peer RSVP-TE speakers, on PE or P devices, that are used to construct TE LSPs. RSVP sessions are also sessions between peer RSVP-TE speakers, on PE devices, that are used to construct subLSPs.
