LDP advertises label-FEC mappings in one of the following ways:
• Downstream Unsolicited (DU) mode—Distributes FEC-label mappings to the upstream LSR,
without waiting for label requests. The device supports only the DU mode.
• Downstream on Demand (DoD) mode—Sends a label request for an FEC to the downstream
LSR. After receiving the label request, the downstream LSR distributes the FEC-label mapping
for that FEC to the upstream LSR.
NOTE:
A pair of upstream and downstream LSRs must use the same label advertisement mode. Otherwise,
the LSP cannot be established.
