LDP 'Typed Wildcard' Forwarding Equivalence Class for PWid and Generalized PWid FEC Elements
RFC 6667, “LDP 'Typed Wildcard' Forwarding Equivalence Class for PWid and Generalized PWid FEC Elements”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2012 by K. Raza, S. Boutros, C. Pignataro. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The "Typed Wildcard Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) Element" defines an extension to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) that can be used when requesting, withdrawing, or releasing all label bindings for a given FEC Element type is desired. However, a Typed Wildcard FEC Element must be individually defined for each FEC Element type. This specification defines the Typed Wildcard FEC Elements for the Pseudowire Identifier (PWid) (0x80) and Generalized PWid (0x81) FEC Element types. [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.
