MPLS Terminologies: LSR, LSP, FEC, LDP, RIB, LFIB, CEF

A label switch router (LSR) is a router that supports MPLS. It is capable of understanding MPLS labels and of receiving and transmitting a labeled packet on a data link.

A label switched path (LSP) is a sequence of LSRs that switch a labeled packet through an MPLS network or part of an MPLS network. Basically, the LSP is the path through the MPLS network or a part of it that packets take.

A Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is a group or flow of packets that are forwarded along the same path and are treated the same with regard to the forwarding treatment.

Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) is label distribution protocol that distribute the labels for IGP prefixes. TDP, which predates LDP, was the first protocol for label distribution developed and implemented by Cisco. However, TDP is proprietary to Cisco. The IETF later formalized LDP.

The routing table (sometimes called the routing instance base, or RIB) determines what the next hop of the IPv4 prefix is.

The Label Forwarding Instance Base (LFIB) is the table used to forward labeled packets. It is populated with the incoming and outgoing labels for the LSPs.

In Cisco IOS, Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) switching is the only IP switching mode that you can use to label packets. Other IP switching modes, such as fast switching, cannot be used, because the fast switching cache does not hold information on labels.


Here's a nice link explaining MPLS basic operation.
