PE router get this packet and add a pre-determined VPN (Inner) Label to each packet. This PE router has learned this VPN Label via MP-BGP before. PE router also add a Transport (Outher) Label to the packet. This is learned via LDP. This processes are “Push Process” of MPLS Labelling.

Here, there is a Label Stack and this label stack consist of Transport (Outher) and VPN (Inner) Labels. This is the beginning point of the Layer 3 VPN Service path, LSP.
