Label distribution and management

An LSR informs its upstream LSRs of labels assigned to FECs through label advertisement. According
to the label distribution condition and order, the label advertisement mode can be downstream
unsolicited (DU) and downstream on demand (DoD), and the label distribution control mode can be
independent or ordered.

Label management refers to the processing of a received label binding that is not useful at the
moment, that is, the label retention mode, which can be liberal or conservative.

DU: In this mode, an LSR assigns a label to a FEC and then distributes the FEC-label binding to
its upstream LSR unsolicitedly.
