This paper presents a novel idea for building a pure MPLS network from the initial stage (bootstrapping) without using any native IP packets to transfer control traffic. Therefore the MPLS network is a purely layer 2.5 label switched network based on layer 2 switching functionality without layer 3 IP routing. As far as we know, there is no previous work reported in this area. The motivation of this research is to simplify MPLS networks and achieve a high level of availability, reliability and security.
