manually the peer parameters or configure a mapping of a targeted session peer parameter
template to a prefix policy. These features are:
→ BGP shortcut (igp-shortcut ldp option in BGP),
→ IGP shortcut (rsvp-shortcut option in IGP),
→ LDP shortcut for IGP routes (ldp-shortcut option in router level),
→ static route LDP shortcut (ldp option in a static route),
→ VPRN service (autobind ldp option)
As the above triggering events can occur simultaneously or in any arbitrary order, the LDP code
implements a priority handling mechanism in order to decide which event overrides the active
targeted session parameters. The overriding trigger becomes the owner of the targeted adjacency
to a given peer and will be shown in ‘show router ldp peer’.
The table below summarizes the triggering events and the associated priority.
