Encyclopedia > Forwarding equivalence class

A FEC (Forward Equivalence Class) is a set of packets that can be handled (i.e. Forwarded) in the same manner and thus is suitable for binding to a single MPLS label. The set of packets destined for one address prefix is one example of an FEC.

Forwarding equivalence class - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (162 words)
A Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is a term used in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to describe a set of packets with similar or identical characteristics which may be forwarded the same way; that is, they may be bound to the same MPLS label.
Characteristics determining the FEC of a higher-layer packet depend on the configuration of the router, but typically this is at least the destination IP address.
Thus, a Forward Equivalence Class tends to correspond to a label switched path (LSP).
