(Optional) Configuring the LDP MTU Signaling Protocol

LDP MTU signaling can be configured to allow Label Mapping message carrying MTU TLVs to be sent.

Context

An MTU value determines the maximum number of bytes that can be transmitted by a transmit node at one time. If a packet exceeds the MTU supported by the receive node or a transit node, the packet is fragmented or discarded, which imposes heavy burden on network transmission. After the LDP MTU signaling protocol is configured, packets smoothly pass through every transit device and reach receive ends without packet reassembly.

Procedure

  1. Run system-view

    The system view is displayed.

  2. Run mpls ldp

    The MPLS-LDP view is displayed.

  3. Run mtu-signalling [apply-tlv]

    The node is enabled to send Label Mapping message carrying MTU TLVs.

  4. Run commit

    The configurations are committed.
