How does Cisco MPLS TE use OSPF extensions to allow for optimized transit between a headend router and a destination router?
Show answer
Answer: D
Explanation
D is correct MPLS TE provides a way to integrate TE capabilities (such as those used on Layer 2 protocols like ATM) into Layer 3 protocols (IP). MPLS TE uses an extension to existing protocols (Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS), Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP), OSPF) to calculate and establish unidirectional tunnels that are set according to the network constraint. Traffic flows are mapped on the different tunnels depending on their destination. https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/support/docs/multiprotocol-label-switching-mpls/mpls/13731-mpls-te-ospf.html
