Change Process for Multiprotocol Label Switching and Generalized MPLS Protocols and Procedures
RFC 4929, “Change Process for Multiprotocol Label Switching and Generalized MPLS Protocols and Procedures”, is a Best Current Practice document published in June 2007 by L. Andersson, A. Farrel. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document provides guidelines for applying or extending the MPLS or GMPLS ((G)MPLS) protocol suites and clarifies the IETF's (G)MPLS working groups' responsibility for the (G)MPLS protocols. This document is directed to multi-vendor fora and Standards Development Organizations (SDOs) to provide an understanding of (G)MPLS work in the IETF and documents the requisite use of IETF review procedures when considering (G)MPLS applications or protocol extensions in their work. This document does not modify IETF processes. This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practices for the Internet Community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements.
What “Best Current Practice” means
Documents the IETF community's recommended operational or procedural practice rather than a protocol specification.
