2. What is MPLS and why it is being so popular in short time?
3. What is the protocol used by MPLS?
4. MPLS works on which layer?
5. What is the difference between P and PE router?
6. Can I make my PE router as P?
7. Two routers are having 4 equal cost links, how many ldp sessions will be established?
8. My LDP router id, OSPF router id and BGP router id is different, will it work to forward the traffic of customers or not?
9. What is Penultimate Hop Popping and why it is required? Which router performs the PHP function?
10. I am receiving aggregate label, what does it mean?
11. What are the different types of labels?
12. How to make customer route unique?
13. What is the difference between RD and RT?
14. Can I assign a same RD to two different customers?
15. Is RD travels in route update?
16. My customer is having three branches and all are attached to three different PEs, In this case can I use the different vrf names?
17. What is downstream on demand?
18. How to filter MPLS labels?
19. What is the default range of MPLS labels in Cisco routers? How to extend that range?
20. Without route reflector can I implement MPLS?
21. What is the difference between VPNv4 and IPv4 address family?
22. What is MP-iBGP? Can we use normal BGP in lieu of MP-iBGP?
23. What is LIB, LFIB?
24. What is CEF and without enabling CEF, can we make MPLS work?
25. I am receiving end to end customer routes on various PE but not able to ping those routes, what’s could be the problem?
26. What is explicit null and implicit null?
27. Default timers of LDP?
28. Does LDP require OSPF, IS-IS or BGP?
29. In neighbor discovery command, I am receiving only xmit, what does it mean?

where have you gone buddy?
Very nice articles (all the 3 published so far). I'm only ccna, many questions remains unsolved...what about publishing the answers too?
thanks!
Luca
Right now having very short time to post the answers. If you need any help please email shivlu@mplsvpn.info. I will reply to those.
Answers are available on given link

Nice articles..helped me a lot...
Thanks..
Fantastic job!!!!pls continue it for Networking Professional
Thanks. Very Helpful Questions. I also write about MPLS on my blog: http://mplstutorial.com
Answer 4: MPLS work in betwwen layer 2 & Layer 3. So you can say that MPLS workd on Layer 2.5
Answer 6:
P router is Prover router. Generally in the core network of the provider. Don't have any information about customers routes. No need to run MP-BGP on P router. Used fr lable switching.
Whereas PE router is provider Edge router. The Router which itracte with customer router. Having all the customer routes. As clear from name it is an edge router and have connectivity to both custer edge router and the P router. Need to run MP-BGP on PE.
Also VRF is required on PE.
Answer 3 :
MPLS use two protocols
1. LDP
2. TDP
TDP is the default one.
LDP is most famous and is used widely.
you give very very basic answer of questions i think you should have to describe in to detail..Like you give answer of question (13) "What is the difference between RD and RT?"
Your answer is "RD is not an extended community where as RT is an extended community."
this is very very basic answer dude...
