The Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group decision on MPLS signaling protocols
RFC 3468, “The Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group decision on MPLS signaling protocols”, is an Informational document published in February 2003 by L. Andersson, G. Swallow. It updates RFC 3212, RFC 3472, RFC 3475, RFC 3476. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document documents the consensus reached by the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Working Group within the IETF to focus its efforts on "Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)-TE: Extensions to RSVP for Label- Switched Paths (LSP) Tunnels" (RFC 3209) as the MPLS signalling protocol for traffic engineering applications and to undertake no new efforts relating to "Constraint-Based LSP Setup using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)" (RFC 3212). The recommendations of section 6 have been accepted by the IESG. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
