Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for mapping transport segment labels to packet network endpoints using a mapping server. In some implementations, an end point address in an edge domain is received from an edge router, a mapping of one of the end point address to a transport segment label is received from a network device, the mapping is stored in a non-transitory memory device, and the mapping is transmitted to the edge router.
