What Is the Routing Protocol Convergence After a Link Failure? What Is the MPLS Convergence After a Link Failure? What Actions Occur in Link Recovery? Summary

4 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPLS v Link Failure Actions Routing protocol neighbors and LDP neighbors are lost after a link failure. Entries are removed from various data structures.

6 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPLS v MPLS Convergence The LFIB and labeling information in the FIB are rebuilt immediately after the routing protocol convergence, based on labels stored in the LIB.

7 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPLS v MPLS Convergence After a Link Failure MPLS convergence in frame-mode MPLS does not affect the overall convergence time. MPLS convergence occurs immediately after the routing protocol convergence, based on labels already stored in the LIB.

9 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPLS v Link Recovery Actions: IP Routing Convergence IP routing protocols rebuild the IP routing table. The FIB and the LFIB are also rebuilt, but the label information might be lacking.

10 © 2006 Cisco Systems, Inc. All rights reserved. MPLS v Link Recovery Actions: MPLS Convergence Routing protocol convergence optimizes the forwarding path after a link recovery. The LIB might not contain the label from the new next hop by the time the IGP convergence is complete. End-to-end MPLS connectivity might be intermittently broken after link recovery. Use MPLS TE for make-before-break recovery.

Upon a link failure, entries are removed from several routing tables. MPLS convergence after link failure in a frame-mode network does not affect overall convergence time. MPLS data structures after link failure may not contain updated data by the time the IGP convergence is complete.
