MPLS Flashcards
An MPLS header is added to packet that lies between ______
1) layer 1 and 3
2) layer 2 and 3
3) layer 3 and 4
4) none of the above
layers 2 and 3
MPLS is considered to be ______ protocol
1) layer 2
2) layer 2.5
3) layer 3
4) none of the above
layer 2.5
The MPLS Header is ____ bit long
1) 24
2) 32
3) 40
4) 64
32 bit
Label: 20 bit
Exp(QoS): 3 bit
Bottom of stack: 1 bit
TTL: 8 bit
routers that receive IP packet from CE
Routers and add MPLS header.
1) Ingress LSR
2) Egress LSR
3) Intermediate LSR
Ingress LSR
LSR: Label Switch Router
LSR routers that swap label in MPLS header
and assigned for forwarding labeled IP packet.
1) Ingress LSR
2) Egress LSR
3) Intermediate LSR
Intermediate LSR
LSR: Label Switch Router
LSR routers that send IP packet to CE routers
and removes MPLS header.
1) Ingress LSR
2) Egress LSR
3) Intermediate LSR
Egress LSR
LSR: Label Switch Router
Routers used in MPLS network that can
understand labels. (MPLS enabled router)
1) PE
2) CE
3) LSR
LSR: Label Switch Router
MPLS stands for
Multiprotocol Label Switching
Action od addition of label by LSR is
1) Push
2) Pop
3) Swap
Push
Action of removal of label by LSR is
1) Push
2) Pop
3) Swap
Pop
MPLS label attachment is regulated by
1) OSPF
2) BGP
3) LDP
4) EGP
LDP: Label Distribution Protocol
In MPLS, LFIB stands for
Label Forwarding Information Base
(main information based on label switching happens)
LSR learns routes and add this information in
1) LFIT
2) LFIB
LFIB: Label Forwarding Information Base
In MPLS, LSP stands for
Label Switched Path
MPLS _________ (provides/ does not provide) encryption by itself
does not provide
Label Switched Path (LSP) is
1) unidirectional
2) bidirectional
unidirectional
MPLS takes the help of _______
protocol to distribute the proper labels
within the MPLS domain to create LSP
1) RSVP-TE
2) MP-BGP
3) LDP
4) EGP
LDP: Label Distribution Protocol
used for traffic engineered LSP and resource reservation in MPLS
1) RSVP-TE
2) MP-BGP
3) LDP
4) EGP
RSVP-TE: Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering
Distributes the Layer 2/Layer 3 VPN labels
1) RSVP-TE
2) MP-BGP
3) LDP
4) EGP
MP-BGP: Multi Protocol BGP
BGP provides the label
during traffic engineering mechanism
1) Push
2) Pop
3) Swap
4) Swap & Push
Swap & Push
AToM stands for
Any Transport over MPLS
In MPLS header the label is ____no of bits
1) 16
2) 20
3) 24
4) 30
