Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a method for forwarding
packets that uses short, fixed-length values carried by packets,
called labels, to determine packet nexthops [RFC3031]). A
fundamental concept in MPLS is that two Label Switching Routers
(LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used to forward
traffic between and through them. This common understanding is
achieved by using a set of procedures, called a label distribution
protocol, by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has
made. One such protocol called LDP [RFC3036] is used by LSRs to
distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed
paths. This document reports on a survey of LDP implementations
conducted in August 2002 as part of the process of advancing LDP from
proposed to draft standard.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-thomas-mpls-ldp-survey2002-00.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.
