A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Maximum Transmission Unit Signalling Extensions
for the Label Distribution Protocol
Author(s) : B. Black, K. Kompella
Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-mtu-extensions-02.txt
Pages : 10

Proper functioning of RFC 1191 path MTU discovery requires that IP
routers have knowledge of the MTU for each link to which they are
connected. As currently specified, the Label Distribution Protocol
(LDP) does not have the ability to signal the MTU for a Label
Switched Path (LSP) to the ingress Label Switching Router (LSR). In
the absence of this functionality, the MTU for each LSP must be
statically configured by network operators or by equivalent, off-line
mechanisms.
This document specifies extensions to LDP in support of LSP MTU
discovery.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-mtu-extensions-02.txt".
NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
