This feature implements RFC3107 that allows carrying a label stack with BGP route updates, using multi protocol BGP.

To understand why BGP-LU tunnels are required to be redistributed into LDP and vice versa, let’s consider the following basic topology for InterAS Option C. It uses IS-IS as IGP where indicated along with LDP:

Normally the ingress router in the following diagram has no control over an autonomous system border router’s

BGP-LU 4.25.0F EPE

Egress Peer Engineering (EPE) using BGP LU enables traffic engineering of the links between Autonomous Systems

BGP-LU EPE 4.27.0F

The MPLS ping/traceroute utilities were extended in EOS version 4.26.0F to support connectivity checking of BGP
