If your TE tunnels are not PE-PE (end to end) and you make intermediary
stops along the way, then you may exchange labels over this. So if your P
routers are terminating (ingress/egress) points for your tunnels, then you
may need this sort of implementation.

Otherwise, not necessary. As with most things, it has to do with your
specific design needs and desires. :)

Subject: MPLS TE && LDP question

Hi Group,

I'm looking for an answer on this generic MPLS TE question:

When do we have to use ``mpls ip`` on a MPLS TE tunnel interface?

I see from time to time workbook's solutions using it but my solutions work
just fine without it and that's why I'd appreciate if someone is able to
summarize the cases where enabling LDP on a TE interface is
necessary/mandatory.

Thanks,
Rado
