MPLS

LSR - Label Switch Router
LIB - Label Information Base
LFIB (Action table) - Label Forwarding Information Base
PE - Provider Edge
LDP - Label Distribution Protocol
VRF - Virtual Routing and Forwarding

Placing the label = "Pushing" the lable
Removing the label = "Popping" the label

Control Plane - L3 routing exists here, label exchanging protocols LDP operates here
Data Plane -  "Forwarding plane", send data at L2/L3, and does the label swapping

I'm tired....
