Issues on loop prevention in MPLS networks.

In multiprotocol label switching (MPLS) networks, data packets are forwarded through label-switched paths (LSPs) which are set up using a label distribution protocol. Since any label distribution protocol makes use of information obtained from the layer 3 routing protocol, and the routing protocol m...
