Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching User-Network Interface : Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering Support for the Overlay Model
RFC 4208, “Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching User-Network Interface : Resource ReserVation Protocol-Traffic Engineering Support for the Overlay Model”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2005 by G. Swallow, J. Drake, H. Ishimatsu, Y. Rekhter. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) defines both routing and signaling protocols for the creation of Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in various switching technologies. These protocols can be used to support a number of deployment scenarios. This memo addresses the application of GMPLS to the overlay model. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
What “Proposed Standard” means
An entry-level standards-track specification: stable, peer-reviewed and a solid basis for implementation, though it may still evolve before becoming an Internet Standard.
