RSVP ASSOCIATION Object Extensions
RFC 6780, “RSVP ASSOCIATION Object Extensions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2012 by L. Berger, F. Le Faucheur, A. Narayanan. It updates RFC 2205, RFC 3209, RFC 3473, RFC 4872. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The RSVP ASSOCIATION object was defined in the context of GMPLS-controlled Label Switched Paths (LSPs). In this context, the object is used to associate recovery LSPs with the LSP they are protecting. This object also has broader applicability as a mechanism to associate RSVP state. This document defines how the ASSOCIATION object can be more generally applied. This document also defines Extended ASSOCIATION objects that, in particular, can be used in the context of the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP). This document updates RFC 2205, RFC 3209, and RFC 3473. It also generalizes the definition of the Association ID field defined in RFC 4872. [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.
