The architecture for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is described in
RFC 3031. A fundamental concept in MPLS is that two Label Switching Routers
(LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used to forward traffic
between and through them. This common understanding is achieved by using a
set of procedures, called a label distribution protocol, by which one LSR
informs another of label bindings it has made. This document defines a set
of such procedures called LDP (for Label Distribution Protocol) by which
LSRs distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed
paths.
