I need some precision about LDP

Hi, guy I just want to have some infos about the exact role of LDP in the MPLS world.

For me LDP is just the protocol that distribute the label into the MPLS cloud, no more.

I have my colleague who say that LDP also create label before distribute them. I think that is Cef in Cisco IOS who is respondible for the label creation.

Any comments ??

Xmas Gifts and 3560's QoS

Today is the 24th December 2K11, Xmas evening and I'm very exciting because I will put the gifts for my child under the Xmas tree.

He will have an touchscreen tablet for kids with 80 games and educational activities inside (He always want to play with my Archos tablet, I hope he will appreciate it's own now ), a bike and a kind of painting/ drawing table for kids.

During my afternoon browsing on Internet I found a link from Kevin Wallace about 3560 QoS (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=IA4iOrn2eiU), even if it's Xmas I take time to watch all this video (1H46min).
This video is great and provide good QoS revision for a CCIE aspirant like me.


No more networking, for today and tomorow : Let's say Merry Xmas.

ProctorLabs got a pb and Falling in Love with MPLS

The last week i received an e-mail from ProctorLabs saying that my vrack session was cancelled due to maintenance operations.
They also gave me 2 X 8 hours vrack vouchers; a few minutes later i got an other e-mail from protorLabs saying that my vrack session was cancelled due to dual booking at the same time but this time no vrack session vouchers for me.

Re-learning MPLS and I'm always glad when i practice this technology and underliyng techniques : magnific.

CCIE Roadmap

Yesterday, I was involved in another proctorlabs vrack session, there was a bug who make my account can't have acces to the vrack page,
even if i was logged on their website. After tallking with their after hours support the problem was clean.

I decided to do lab on OSPF, Tunnels and BGP : the labs were well, but due to familly reason I stopped my session 3 hours before the end.

I don't know how many time it will take me to master all the CCIE R&S Blueprint, but I can say that I'm far from ready to go to the lab right now.

Due to my job and current project (We have to Setup a Genesys Contact Center for our Local Regulator, an also a Genesys Voice Platform for a local cellular operator)
that need to be finish before the mid-December.

2 weeks ago I was in Senegal for a 5 day Genesys Training.

I waste a lot of time regarding my preparation roadmap, I'm only on the IpExpert Vol1 Lab 23. I have the Audio on Demand, Vol 2 and Vol 3 to do, but CCIE isn't how fast you go but how you secure your journey.
