LDP over RSVP Tunnels
LDP over RSVP-TE provides end-to-end tunnels that have two important properties, fast reroute 
and traffic engineering which are not available in LDP. LDP over RSVP-TE is focused at large 
networks (over 100 nodes in the network). Simply using end-to-end RSVP-TE tunnels will not 
scale. While an LER may not have that many tunnels, any transit node will potentially have 
thousands of LSPs, and if each transit node also has to deal with detours or bypass tunnels, this 
number can make the LSR overly burdened.
NOTE:
• Use of implicit NULL MPLS lablel must be enabled with use of LDPoRSVP. Use the 
command configure>router>rsvp> implicit-null-label and configure> router> ldp> 
implicit-null-label to enable use of Implicit NULL MPLS labels.
• Only FRR one-to-one is supported when LDPoRSVP is used. FRR facility is not 
supported. This is not blocked in CLI, but operators need to ensure it when configuring 
the nodes.
LDP over RSVP-TE allows tunneling of user packets using an LDP LSP inside an RSVP LSP.The 
main application of this feature is for deployment of MPLS based services, for example, VPRN, 
VLL, and VPLS services, in large scale networks across multiple IGP areas without requiring full 
mesh of RSVP LSPs between PE routers.
