Targeted LDP

Source and destination addresses of targeted Hello packet are the LDP IPv6 LSR-IDs of systems A and B.

The user can configure the local-lsr-id option on the targeted session and change the value of the LSR-ID to either the local interface or to some other interface name, loopback or not. The global unicast IPv6 address corresponding to the primary IPv6 address of the interface is used as the LSR-ID. If the user invokes an interface that does not have a global unicast IPv6 address in the configuration of the transport address or the configuration of the local-lsr-id option, the session does not come up and an error message is displayed. In all cases, the transport address for the LDP session and the source IP address of targeted Hello message are updated to the new LSR-ID value.

The LSR with the highest transport address (in this case, the LSR-ID) bootstraps the IPv6 TCP connection and IPv6 LDP session.

Source and destination IP addresses of LDP/TCP session packets are the IPv6 transport addresses (in this case, LDP LSR-IDs of systems A and B).
