Label Distribution Protocol 'Typed Wildcard' Forward Equivalence Class
RFC 5918, “Label Distribution Protocol 'Typed Wildcard' Forward Equivalence Class”, is a Proposed Standard document published in August 2010 by R. Asati, I. Minei, B. Thomas. It has since been updated by RFC 7358. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) specification for the Wildcard Forward Equivalence Class (FEC) element has several limitations. This document addresses those limitations by defining a Typed Wildcard FEC Element and associated procedures. In addition, it defines a new LDP capability to address backward compatibility. [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.
