Seamless MPLS Network Architecture
The key concepts for Seamless MPLS: Decoupling the transport layer and service layer.
The network will be divided into multiple IGP areas for access, aggregation and core
network
IBGP run among the Area Boarder Routers (ABRs) to advertise labeled route.
LDP DoD is introduced to set up LSP on demand between AN and AGN.

Scenarios for Network Architecture
Network Architecture 1: Network separated by Ases
 Scenario 1: ASes connected by different ASBRs
 Scenario 2: ASes connected by integrated ASBRs
 Different network integrated in one AS but separated by
different IGP areas

Scenarios for Different Edge of Labeled BGP
Scenario 1: Cell Site/User PE devices as the edge
Scenario 2: ASG nodes as the edge
 Scenario 3: RSG(ASBR) devices as the edge
