Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration Modifications
RFC 6898, “Link Management Protocol Behavior Negotiation and Configuration Modifications”, is a Proposed Standard document published in March 2013 by D. Li, D. Ceccarelli, L. Berger. It updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209, RFC 5818. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is used to coordinate the properties, use, and faults of data links in networks controlled by Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS). This document defines an extension to LMP to negotiate capabilities and indicate support for LMP extensions. The defined extension is compatible with non-supporting implementations.
This document updates RFC 4204, RFC 4207, RFC 4209, and RFC 5818.
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.
