Use case · VRF / MPLS assurance
In multi-tenant MPLS networks, a route-target slip can leak one customer's routes into another, and a dropped LDP session downs a VPN while IP looks perfectly healthy. Phantom makes both visible and auditable.
How Phantom does it
A VPN site goes dark though IGP looks fine. Phantom shows the LDP neighbor to the next hop is down — no labels are exchanged and the LSP is broken — a label-plane fault an IP-only view would miss entirely.
