IV. DLDP implementation 
1)  If the DLDP-enabled link is up, DLDP sends DLDP packets to the peer device, and 
analyses and processes DLDP packets received from the peer device. DLDP in 
different status sends different packets.  
Table 1-4 Types of packets sent by DLDP 
DLDP status  Packet types 
Active  Advertisement packets, including those with or without RSY tags 
Advertisement Advertisement packets 
Probe Probe packets 
 
2)  DLDP analyzes and processes received packets as follows: 
z  In authentication mode, DLDP authenticates the packets, and discards those do 
not pass the authentication. 
z  DLDP processes the received DLDP packets. 
Table 1-5 Process received DLDP packets 
Packet type  Processing procedure 
If this neighbor entry does not exist on the 
local device, DLDP creates the neighbor entry, 
enables the entry aging timer, and turns to 
probe status.
