I am trying to simulate a MPLS TE FRR with GNS3 and everything seems to work fine. However every time i simulate a failover, the labels seems to change
Is it something expected or a problem with the simualtion engine
When FRR is not active
R1-PE1#traceroute vrf abc 200.200.200.1

Hi Ambi,
When a RSVP (or LDP) session is reset, there is no guarantee the same label used by the previous session will be allocated again for the same tunnel (or FEC) as it may have been allocated by another ressource in the meantime.

Thanks Laurent
I though that but in my lab environment where i was simualting the failures, i could not think of any other resource assigning the same label
If i simulate these failures repeatedly sometimes i see the old label back so was a bit confused

It could happen even if there is no other ressources using label space so it's an expected behavior.

thanks laurent for confirming it is an expected behavior

Ambi,
Have you tried the protection setting for LDP/TDP?
This is possible with "mpls ldp session protection" command. I do not know if we have this command to TDP.
