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.

 Seamless MPLS for Mobile Backhaul Networks
Ring topology is adopted in mobile backhaul networks.
Variable devices with variable capability are deployed in the access
ring and aggregation ring.

 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
