Tag Switching and Routing

A tag represents a forwarding equivalence class, but it does not represent a particular path through the network. In general, the path through the network continues to be chosen by the existingLayer 3 routing algorithms such as OSPF, Enhanced IGRP, and BGP. That is, at each hop when a tag is looked up, the next hop chosen is determined by the dynamic routing algorithm.
