The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Network Assigned Upstream-Label' (draft-ietf-teas-network-assigned-upstream-label-12.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-network-assigned-upstream-label/ Technical Summary 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 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. Working Group Summary This document moved from to the TEAS WGs as part of the routing WG changes. This document has been fairly noncontroversial. Document Quality The extensions defined in this document are compatible with known implementations. While there have been no public statements on implementation, the authors are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected - or may even already exist.
