Label Switching Router
(LSR) A device that typically resides somewhere
in the middle of a {network} and is capable of forwarding
{datagrams} based upon a label. In many cases, especially
early versions of {MPLS} networks, a LSR will typically be a
modified {ATM} {switch} that forwards datagrams based upon a
label in the {VPI}/{VCI} field.
