A Framework for Point-to-Multipoint MPLS in Transport Networks
RFC 7167, “A Framework for Point-to-Multipoint MPLS in Transport Networks”, is an Informational document published in April 2014 by D. Frost, S. Bryant, M. Bocci, L. Berger. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is the common set of MPLS protocol functions defined to enable the construction and operation of packet transport networks. The MPLS-TP supports both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint transport paths. This document defines the elements and functions of the MPLS-TP architecture that are applicable specifically to supporting point-to-multipoint transport paths.
