The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extensions to RSVP-TE for Point-to-Multipoint TE LSPs ' <draft-ietf-mpls-rsvp-te-p2mp-07.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Ross Callon and Bill Fenner. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-rsvp-te-p2mp-07.txt Technical Summary This document describes extensions to Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) for the set up of Traffic Engineered (TE) point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) and Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) networks. The solution relies on RSVP-TE without requiring a multicast routing protocol in the Service Provider core. Protocol elements and procedures for this solution are described. There can be various applications for P2MP TE LSPs such as IP multicast and multicast over VPNs. Specification of how such applications will use a P2MP TE LSP is outside the scope of this document. Working Group Summary The WG chairs report that this document has a very strong support in the working group. The work in this draft has also been done based on requirements from the GMPLS p2mp TE. The draft also has a strong support in the ccamp working group. Protocol Quality Ross Callon has reviewed this for the IESG. There is at least one implementation, and the protocol has been deployed in more than one network. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
