MPLS LFIB (Label Forwarding Information Base) counters provide per-label ingress packet and byte counters for MPLS routed packets. These counters enable operators to Monitor traffic volume per MPLS label for capacity planning and SLA verification, Troubleshoot MPLS forwarding issues by identifying labels with unexpected traffic patterns

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a networking process that replaces complete network addresses with short path labels for directing data packets to network nodes. The labels identify LSPs (label switched paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints. MPLS is scalable and protocol-independent. Data packets are assigned labels, which are used to determine packet forwarding destinations without examining the packet.
