		<description><![CDATA[MPLS Label distribution protocol (LDP) as its name implies was defined to automatically create and maintain Label switched paths (LSP) in an MPLS network via label distribution. LDP specifications are defined in RFC 5036. In brief LDP assigns local label bindings to all IGP routes in the routing table and forms neighbor relationships with other [...]

However, to really understand this statement I encourage you to imagine removing MPLS from your core network and see what adjustments you need [...]
