RSVP protocol is high compatible to support MPLS Traffic Engineering

In MPLS TE, End-point control is used to establishing and managing routes through the
TE tunnels announced at the head end and tail end
In order to do resource-aware routing , various link-management approaches of TE LSPs
are used for identifying link associated with MPLS labels.
I order to provide protection and minimize packet loss, Fast Reroute (FRR) are deployed
to provide backup tunnel information to these LSPs
The RSVP core functionality is used to distribute labels for resource reservation for IP
unicast and multicast flows.

RSVP Protocol Operation in MPLS.

Protocols such as the label exchange protocols, Tag Distribution Protocol (TDP), MPLS Label
Distribution Protocol (LDP), BGP (used by MPLS VPN) are used by the Control Panel to
distribute Labels, Provide CAC and Failure Notification. This is very important for Resource
Reservation Protocol (RSVP) to be used by MPLS TE to accomplish this exchange.

Set up LSP in MPLS networks

MPLS Multiprotocol Label Switching

LSP Label Switched Path

Principallyallows source routing

Separate forwarding information from the path to make routers route packets based on
labels

Integrate with optical cross connects

2.6 Label types and operation

The label has three modes for swap, push and pop operations
2.6.1 IP Lookup versus Label Lookup

When a router receives an IP packet, the lookup done is an IP lookup,this means that the packet
is looked up in the CEF table.When a router receives a labeled packet, the lookup is done in the
LFIB of the router. The router knows that it receives a labeled packet or an IP packet by looking
at the protocol field in the Layer 2 header. A packet forwarded by a Cisco Express Forwarding
(CEF) (IP lookup) or by LFIB leaving the router as either labeled or unlabeled.
Ingress Edge LSR receives packet by performing value-added services using the IP-to-label
forwarding for labeling packets. The egress LSR on the other hand receives a labeled packet
removes the labels to forward it as an IP or a labeled packet. The first case is referred to as the
label-to-IP forwarding case.
