Dear IETF Secretariat, MPLS chairs
 
We submit an Internet-Draft:

 

Title : Requirements for multicast service using a group label over MPLS
Author(s) : Jun Kyun Choi, et al
Filename : draft-choi-mpls-grouplable-requirement-01.txt
Pages : 18

 

Abstract

As the group communication becomes more important, the special label

  should be allocated in support of group management and maintenance.

  The allocation mechanism of a group label can be applied to a point-

  to-multipoint(P2MP) communication in MPLS networks. Currently used

  label is locally significant, while this group label should be common

  object within a single MPLS domain.

  This document presents a set of requirements for multicast service

  using a group label over Multiprotocol Label Switching(MPLS). It

  identifies functional and performance capabilities required to

  allocate a group label in master-slave network and peer to peer

  network, which facilitates efficient and reliable group communication

  and Quality of Service(QoS) in MPLS domain. It also identifies

  functional capabilities required to implement convergence services

  related to Content Distribution Network(CDN) and Virtual Private

  Network(VPN). These capabilities can be used to provide high quality

  and scalable service.

  This document includes the allocation mechanism of a group label in

  order to perform unidirectional P2MP communication.

 

Your feedback will be very much appreciated.

 

Could you give me 10 min to make a presentation?

Thanks.
