The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS Flow Identification Considerations' <draft-ietf-mpls-flow-ident-06.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2018-01-02. 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 the aspects that need to be be considered when developing a solution for MPLS flow identification. The key application that needs this is in-band performance monitoring of MPLS flows when MPLS is used to encapsulate user data packets. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-flow-ident/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-flow-ident/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
