Just one comment. you should really let viewer what is the loopback IP. It's confusing to looking at the mpls forwarding table without knowing what is what. But good video and I enjoy watching it
R3 knows where to send packets because each route in the routing table is assigned a label, R1 and R5 build a multi-protocol BGP VPN tunnel to each other and attach labels destined to each other, the routers in between so those labels and forwards packets accordingly.
R3 does not know the destination. all P routers share “hey these are the prefixes I support, if you want to send traffic to this or that send me this or that label (typically just loopback).. so if pc6 is sending traffic to pc7 (which is transit traffic) only the PEs should know the routes, R1 has the destination learned via ibgp with next hop of R5 loopback, so that route on R1 has destination can be reached via R5 but next hop is the LSP.. so all transit routes in the mpls core will only inspect labels, they do not inspect L3 (if they do so, traffic will be dropped because the source and destination prefixes are only learned on the edge via ibgp)

Thank you so much bro 😎 awesome content 👍🏽 recently started my journey in NOC . Certified CCNA, studying for CCNP svpn badge.
This is an awesome demo of how MPLS works, thank you!

Thank you for the feedback, glad you enjoyed it
MPLS appears to be the new frame relay.
I thought it used the mac tables to translate source & destination of layer 3 segments?
MACs are used at layer 2, Labels are used right after the layer 2 header and before the layer 3 header. Its called layer 2.5
How does MPLS router 3 know which network ID the packet is destined for if no lookup of Layer 3 is involved?
R3 knows where to send packets because each route in the routing table is assigned a label, R1 and R5 build a multi-protocol BGP VPN tunnel to each other and attach labels destined to each other, the routers in between so those labels and forwards packets accordingly.
R3 does not know the destination. all P routers share “hey these are the prefixes I support, if you want to send traffic to this or that send me this or that label (typically just loopback).. so if pc6 is sending traffic to pc7 (which is transit traffic) only the PEs should know the routes, R1 has the destination learned via ibgp with next hop of R5 loopback, so that route on R1 has destination can be reached via R5 but next hop is the LSP.. so all transit routes in the mpls core will only inspect labels, they do not inspect L3 (if they do so, traffic will be dropped because the source and destination prefixes are only learned on the edge via ibgp)
what software are you using for this demonstration?
Gns3
@@ccnpseth4563 .. Does installation of GNS3 slows down ur PC ?

nice
Cutie Pie very nice explanations.
