The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Signaling RSVP-TE tunnels on a shared MPLS forwarding plane' (draft-ietf-mpls-rsvp-shared-labels-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Martin Vigoureux and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-rsvp-shared-labels/ Technical Summary This document defines a mechanism to prevent the maximum size of the label space limit on an LSR from being a constraint to control plane scaling on that node. It introduces the notion of pre-installed 'per Traffic Engineering (TE) link labels' that can be shared by MPLS RSVP-TE LSPs that traverse these TE links. This approach significantly reduces the forwarding plane state required to support a large number of LSPs. This couples the feature benefits of the RSVP-TE control plane with the simplicity of the Segment Routing MPLS forwarding plane. Working Group Summary No such controversies. The WG process has been very straightforward. Document Quality We know of implementation plans and implementations, this was the reason to allocate some of the code points by early allocation. However we have no detailed information. We have started an implementation poll and will update the Write-Up when we receive more information. No expert reviews necessary.
