Requirements for Point-to-Multipoint Extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol
RFC 6348, “Requirements for Point-to-Multipoint Extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol”, is a Historic document published in September 2011 by JL. Le Roux, T. Morin. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document lists a set of functional requirements that served as input to the design of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) extensions for setting up point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSP), in order to deliver point-to-multipoint applications over a Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure.
This work was overtaken by the protocol solution developed by the MPLS working group, but that solution did not closely follow the requirements documented here. This document is published as a historic record of the ideas and requirements that shaped the protocol work. This document defines a Historic Document for the Internet community.
