Node type: OBJECT-TYPE

Type: INTEGER

Access: read-create

Description: This specifies whether the loopback or interface address is to be used as the transport address in the transport address TLV of the hello message.

If the value is interface(1), then the IP address of the interface from which hello messages are sent is used as the transport address in the hello message.

Otherwise, if the value is loopback(2), then the IP address of the loopback interface is used as the transport address in the hello message.

What is mplsLdpEntityTransportAddrKind?

Chooses whether this LDP entity advertises its outgoing interface address or its loopback address as the transport address in Hello messages, which peers then use to open the LDP TCP session. Operators generally prefer loopback so the session stays up across a single link failure when multiple paths exist between the two LSRs.
