FYI
The changes in this version are minor and editorial.
The draft seems relatively stable.

Comments appreciated.

> Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) may
> be established using the Resource Reservation Protocol Traffic
> Engineering extensions (RSVP-TE). This protocol includes an object
> (the SESSION_ATTRIBUTE object) which carries a flags field used to
> indicate options and attributes of the LSP. That flags field has
> eight bits allowing for eight options to be set. Recent proposals in
> many documents that extend RSVP-TE have suggested uses for each of
> the previously unused bits.
>
> This document defines a new object for RSVP-TE messages that allows
> the signaling of further attribute bits and also the carriage of
> arbitrary attribute parameters to make RSVP-TE easily extensible to
> support new requirements. Additionally, this document defines a way
> to record the attributes applied to the LSP on a hop-by-hop basis.
>
> The object mechanisms defined in this document are equally applicable
> to Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Packet Switch Capable (PSC) LSPs and to
> GMPLS non-PSC LSPs.
