MPLS LDP Inbound Label Binding Filtering
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) supports inbound label binding
filtering. You can use the MPLS LDP Inbound Label Binding Filtering feature to configure access control
lists (ACLs) for controlling the label bindings a label switch router (LSR) accepts from its peer LSRs.

Restrictions

Inbound label binding filtering does not support extended ACLs; it only supports standard ACLs.

Information about MPLS LDP Inbound Label Binding Filtering

The MPLS LDP Inbound Label Binding Filtering feature may be used to control the amount of memory
used to store LDP label bindings advertised by other routers. For example, in a simple MPLS Virtual
Private Network (VPN) environment, the VPN provider edge (PE) routers may require LSPs only to their
peer PE routers (that is, they do not need LSPs to core routers). Inbound label binding filtering enables a PE
router to accept labels only from other PE routers.
