label over MPLS

As the group communication become more important, the special label
should be allocated in support of group management and maintenance.
The allocation mechanism of a group label can be applied to a point-
to-multipoint(P2MP) communication in MPLS networks. Currently used
label is locally significant, while this group label should be common
object within a single MPLS domain.
This document presents a set of requirements for multicast service
using a group label over Multiprotocol Label Switching(MPLS). It
identifies functional and performance capabilities required to
allocate a group label in master-slave network and peer to peer
network, which facilitates efficient and reliable group communication
and Quality of Service(QoS) in MPLS domain. It also identifies
functional capabilities required to implement several services
related to Content Distribution Network(CDN) in master-slave network.

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
