What does an LDP implicit null label cause?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

An LDP implicit null label causes penultimate hop popping by a downstream router. LDP is a protocol that distributes labels for MPLS forwarding along the shortest path calculated by an IGP. An implicit null label is a special label value of 3 that indicates that the downstream router does not need a label to forward the packet to its destination. When an upstream router receives an implicit null label from a downstream router, it removes (or pops) the label from the packet before sending it to the downstream router.This process is called penultimate hop popping (PHP) and it reduces the load on the downstream router, which can forward the packet based on its IP header or another label in the stack59.

Nope, definitely not that! It's about swapping labels.

I vaguely recall that it has to do with the penultimate hop popping, but I can't remember if it's upstream or downstream.

I feel like the answer might be about forwarding the packet unchanged, but that doesn't seem right for implicit null.

I think the implicit null label is related to penultimate hop popping, but I'm not sure if it's upstream or downstream.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know LDP is related to MPLS, but I'm not sure about the specifics of implicit null labels and how they affect packet forwarding. I'll have to do some quick review of MPLS concepts before answering this.

Okay, I've got this. An LDP implicit null label causes penultimate hop popping by a downstream router. I remember learning about this in class, where the downstream router removes the label and forwards the packet based on the IP destination address. I'm confident that's the right answer.

I'm not too sure about this one. The question seems to be asking about LDP implicit null labels, but I'm not familiar with the specifics of how those work. I'll have to think this through carefully.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I think it has to do with how the label is handled by downstream routers, but I'm not sure if it's popping the label or forwarding it unchanged. I'll have to review my notes on LDP to figure this out.

I'm just going to go with B. Penultimate hop popping by a downstream router sounds like the most sensible option to me.
