IGP shortcuts (enabling the use of LSPs for forwarding to IGP next hops) is
only supported in traffic engineering (RSVP-TE and Static) and not with LDP.
 
LDP is implemented to provide LSPs between BGP speakers next-hops so that
BGP can be removed from the core so bgp external routes need only be held at
the edge.
 
BGP Next-hop information is stored in inet.0 (IGP learned) and inet.3 (mpls
learned, ldp and rsvp).
  
BGP will look in both of these table to resolve the next-hop.

Hi,
Someone know if it is posible to put MPLS labeled routes ( using LDP as
signalling ) in the inet.0 ?
LDP install routes in the inet.3, where they are only used by BGP.
Something like put traffic engineering bgp-igp in the MPLS statment ( but it
only work for RSVP and static labels )
If it is imposible... why?
Thanks!!
