Configuring LDP Loop Detection

LSPs established in an MPLS domain may be looping. The LDP loop detection mechanism can detect
looping LSPs and prevent LDP messages from looping forever.

LDP loop detection can be in either of the following two modes:

Maximum hop count

A label request message or label mapping message carries information about its hop count, which
increments by 1 for each hop. When this value reaches the specified limit, LDP considers that a loop is
present and terminates the establishment of the LSP.

Path vector

A label request message or label mapping message carries path information in the form of path vector
list. When such a message reaches an LSR, the LSR checks the path vector list of the message to
see whether its MPLS LSR ID is in the list. If not, the LSR will add its LSR ID to the path vector list; if
yes, the LSR considers that a loop appears and terminates the establishment of the LSP.

In the path vector mode, you also need to specify the maximum number of hops of an LSP. An LSR
will also terminate the establishment of an LSP when the hop count of the path, or the length of the
path vector, reaches the specified limit.

Follow these steps to configure LDP loop detection:
