Signalling Unnumbered Links in Resource ReSerVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering

Overview

RFC 3477, “Signalling Unnumbered Links in Resource ReSerVation Protocol - Traffic Engineering”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2003 by K. Kompella, Y. Rekhter. It has since been updated by RFC 6107. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Current signalling used by Multi-Protocol Label Switching Traffic Engineering (MPLS TE) does not provide support for unnumbered links. This document defines procedures and extensions to Resource ReSerVation Protocol (RSVP) for Label Switched Path (LSP) Tunnels (RSVP-TE), one of the MPLS TE signalling protocols, that are needed in order to support unnumbered links. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

Abstract as published in the RFC, via rfc-editor.org.

What “Proposed Standard” means
