MPLS LDP VS RSVP (-TE)
Comparison Table : LDP vs RSVP
Below table describes the difference between LDP and RSVP:
PARAMETERS | LDP | RSVP |
Abbreviation for | Label Distribution protocol | Resource Reservation Protocol |
Provisioning | Easy to configure. We just need to enable on interfaces. Label bindings automatically established for specific FECs | Complex configuration |
Topology | LSPs from multiple ingresses use the same label to reach the egress (multi-point to point LSP) | RSVP sets up independent point to point LSPs. |
QoS | Limited | Guaranteed resources |
LSP setup initiation | Egress initiates the LSP setup | Ingress initiates the LSP setup. |
Requirement | If primarily LSPs need to be set up, LDP should be used | If you require traffic engineering and resources reservations, use RSVP (-TE). |
Scalability | High | Low |
ECMP | Possible | Not Possible |
Fast Reroute (FRR) support | No | Yes |
IGP based decision making | LDP follows IGP for decision making | RSVP does not follow the IGP, and take independent decisions on the reserved traffic |
