The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'Network Assigned Upstream-Label' <draft-ietf-teas-network-assigned-upstream-label-09.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-12-29. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document discusses a Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Resource reSerVation Protocol with Traffic Engineering (RSVP- TE) mechanism that enables the network to assign an upstream label for a bidirectional Label Switched Path (LSP). This is useful in scenarios where a given node does not have sufficient information to assign the correct upstream label on its own and needs to rely on the downstream node to pick an appropriate label. This document updates RFCs 3471, 3473 and 6205 as it defines processing for a special label value in the UPSTREAM_LABEL object. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-network-assigned-upstream-label/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-network-assigned-upstream-label/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
