All of those protocols are session oriented. In order to obtain label binding for a given destination FEC from a given router one needs first to establish an LDP/RSVP/LBGP session with that router. Advertising MPLS labels in IGPs {[}I-D.gredler-rtgwg-igp-label-advertisement{]} describes several use cases where utilizing the flooding machinery of link-state protocols for MPLS label distribution allows to obtain the binding without requiring to establish an LDP/RSVP/LBGP session with that router. This document describes the protocol extension to distribute MPLS label bindings by the OSPFv2 and OSPFv3 protocol.}, }
