GMPLS Asymmetric Bandwidth Bidirectional Label Switched Paths
RFC 6387, “GMPLS Asymmetric Bandwidth Bidirectional Label Switched Paths”, is a Proposed Standard document published in September 2011 by A. Takacs, L. Berger, D. Caviglia, D. Fedyk, J. Meuric. It obsoletes RFC 5467. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
This document defines a method for the support of GMPLS asymmetric bandwidth bidirectional Label Switched Paths (LSPs). The approach presented is applicable to any switching technology and builds on the original Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP) model for the transport of traffic-related parameters. This document moves the experiment documented in RFC 5467 to the standards track and obsoletes RFC 5467. [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.
