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.

If the neighbor entry already exists on the local
device, DLDP refreshes the entry aging timer.
