Label Advertisement Discipline for LDP Forwarding Equivalence Classes
RFC 7358, “Label Advertisement Discipline for LDP Forwarding Equivalence Classes”, is a Proposed Standard document published in October 2014 by K. Raza, S. Boutros, L. Martini, N. Leymann. It updates RFC 3212, RFC 4447, RFC 5036, RFC 5918, RFC 6388, RFC 7140. The canonical text is published by the RFC Editor.
Abstract
The label advertising behavior of an LDP speaker for a given Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is governed by the FEC type and not necessarily by the LDP session's negotiated label advertisement mode. This document updates RFC 5036 to make that fact clear. It also updates RFCs 3212, 4447, 5918, 6388, and 7140 by specifying the label advertisement mode for all currently defined LDP FEC types.
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.
