Procedures for Dynamically Signaled Hierarchical Label Switched Paths

Overview

RFC 6107, “Procedures for Dynamically Signaled Hierarchical Label Switched Paths”, is a Proposed Standard document published in February 2011 by K. Shiomoto, A. Farrel. It updates RFC 3477, RFC 4206. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.

Abstract

Label Switched Paths (LSPs) set up in Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) or Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks can be used to form links to carry traffic in those networks or in other (client) networks.

Protocol mechanisms already exist to facilitate the establishment of such LSPs and to bundle traffic engineering (TE) links to reduce the load on routing protocols. This document defines extensions to those mechanisms to support identifying the use to which such LSPs are to be put and to enable the TE link endpoints to be assigned addresses or unnumbered identifiers during the signaling process. [STANDARDS-TRACK]

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

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.
