| Description |
|---|
| MPLS label exchange via Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) or Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) with any external neighbor creates the risk of label spoofing that could disrupt optimum routing, or even drop packets that are encapsulated with a label that is not in the MPLS forwarding table. |
| ℹ️ Check |
|---|
| Review the DISN-facing interfaces of the enclave perimeter routers to verify that LDP or RSVP is not enabled. If any of these interfaces are LDP or RSVP enabled, this is a finding. |
| ✔️ Fix |
|---|
| Disable LDP and RSVP on DISN-facing interfaces on all perimeter routers. |
