mpls forwarding table

[sbhuiyan1]

If mpls forwarding table has two entries as below, does it mean mpls traffic for destination  10.112.64.129  will load balance within this two paths?

router1#sh mpls forwarding-table 10.112.64.129
Local   Outgoing        Prefix                    Bytes Label              Outgoing      Next Hop
Label   Label or         Tunnel Id                Switched                  interface
8065      66             10.112.64.129/32   1071385575294       Te1/0/0          10.112.16.2
              35             10.112.64.129/32   1133265196412       Te1/1/0          10.112.16.6

Hi,

Yes. What this means is, any traffic that comes with top label of 8065 will be load balanced across the two links.

If you are using L3VPN/L2VPN and 10.112.64.129/32 is the destination PE, the actual destination IP may be different. In this case the load balance hashing algorithim uses the bottom label in the stack to choose the link between the two.
