Using LDP Multipoint Extensions on Targeted LDP Sessions
RFC 7060, “Using LDP Multipoint Extensions on Targeted LDP Sessions”, is a Proposed Standard document published in November 2013 by M. Napierala, E. Rosen, IJ. Wijnands. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) can be used to set up Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) and Multipoint-to-Multipoint (MP2MP) Label Switched Paths. However, the specification for the Multipoint Extensions to LDP presupposes that the two endpoints of an LDP session are directly connected. The LDP base specification allows for the case where the two endpoints of an LDP session are not directly connected; such a session is known as a "Targeted LDP" session. This document provides the specification for using the LDP Multipoint Extensions over a Targeted LDP session.
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.
