LDP Extensions for Multi-Topology
RFC 7307, “LDP Extensions for Multi-Topology”, is a Proposed Standard document published in July 2014 by Q. Zhao, K. Raza, C. Zhou, L. Fang, L. Li, D. King. It has since been updated by RFC 9658. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
Multi-Topology (MT) routing is supported in IP networks with the use of MT-aware IGPs. In order to provide MT routing within Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) networks, new extensions are required.
This document describes the LDP protocol extensions required to support MT routing in an MPLS environment.
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.
