The architecture for Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is
described in [ARCH].  A fundamental concept in MPLS is that two Label
Switching Routers (LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used
to forward traffic between and through them.  This common
understanding is achieved by using a set of procedures, called a
label distribution protocol, by which one LSR informs another of
label bindings it has made.  This document defines a set of such
procedures called LDP (for Label Distribution Protocol) by which LSRs
distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed
paths [LDPAPPLIC].

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on

	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
