When the LDP adjacency is established, the session setup follows as per the LDP specification. Initialization and keepalive messages complete the session setup, followed by address messages to exchange all interface IP addresses. Periodic keepalives or other session messages maintain the session liveliness.
Because TCP is back-pressured by the receiver, it is necessary to be able to push that back-pressure all the way into the protocol. Packets that cannot be sent are buffered on the session object and re-attempted as the back-pressure eases.
