Methods and apparatus to implement multipoint and replicated communication paths using upstream and recursive downstream label mappings are disclosed. An example method to aggregate multipoint communication paths disclosed herein comprises sending an upstream label assignment request to an upstream router in response to receiving a first downstream message for building a first inner multipoint communication path between a root node identified in the first downstream message and a leaf node originating the first downstream message, and receiving an upstream-assigned label from the upstream router in response to the upstream label assignment request, the upstream-assigned label to identify the first inner multipoint communication path among a plurality of inner multipoint communication paths conveyed via an outer multipoint communication path aggregating the plurality of inner multipoint communication paths. |
