Multicast Label Switching (mLADP)
Multicast Label Distribution protocol (mLDP) provides extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol
(LDP) for the setup of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to-multipoint (MP2MP) Label
Switched Paths (LSPs) in MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. A P2MP LSP allows traffic
from a single root (or ingress) node to be delivered to a number of leaf (or egress) nodes.
A MP2MP LSP allows traffic from multiple ingress nodes to be delivered to multiple egress nodes. Only
a single copy of the packet will be sent on any link traversed by a multipoint LSP. Container is the holder
of MPLS MLDP databases and neighbors instances for Multicast.
