Abstract
In general, techniques are described for configuration of label switched paths in multi-protocol label switched networks. A router comprising a control unit and an interface may be configured to perform the techniques. The control unit may determine a label to bind to the LSP. The interface may transmit a message specifying the label that has been bound to the LSP prior to confirming that the LSP has been successfully configured within the support router to use the bound label.
