This document describes the use of RSVP, including all the necessary
extensions, to establish label-switched paths (LSPs) in MPLS.  Since
the flow along an LSP is completely identified by the label applied
at the ingress node of the path, these paths may be treated as
tunnels.  A key application of LSP tunnels is traffic engineering
with MPLS as specified in [3].
We propose several additional objects that extend RSVP, allowing the
establishment of explicitly routed label switched paths using RSVP as
a signaling protocol.  The result is the instantiation of label-
switched tunnels which can be automatically routed  away from network
failures, congestion, and bottlenecks.

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
