Re: [mpls-linux-general] Why MPLSCP is required at all ?

[James R. L. <jl...@mi...>]

PPP assumes that no protocol packets can flow until a NCP for that
protocol has registered and syncronized with the peer.  In the case of IPv4
IPCP can negotiate many things (IP addresses, DNS servers ....).  In the
case of MPLS nothing needs to be negotiated, the only purpose for MPLSCP is
to identify that MPLS packet can be sent on this link.
