The MPLS WG Archive

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

Folks,

The changes in this version of the draft are shown in section 0.1.

The authors consider that the draft is now stable and complete. As soon as someone is
ready to make a public (or private to the WG chairs) statement that they have a successful
implementation, we would like to request the chairs to consider a WG last call.

Thanks,
Adrian

> 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.
