is a utility used to automatically distribute labels between two MPLS LSRs

-are not implemented or may not work. As a security measure you SHOULD filter

-You can increase the log verbosity using -W and -D parameters.
-Also you can telnet on control port (default: 2626) and use this interface
-in order to get informations about protocol, neighbours etc. but also to
-set runtime parameters. The required password is the same as root password.
