The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Requirements for Point-To-Multipoint Extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol' (draft-ietf-mpls-mp-ldp-reqs-08.txt) as a Historic This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-mp-ldp-reqs/ Technical Summary This document lists a set of functional requirements that served as input to the design of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) extensions for setting up point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSP), in order to deliver point-to-multipoint applications over a Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure. This work was overtaken by the protocol solution developed by the MPLS working group, and that solution did not closely follow the requirements documented here. This document is published as a historic record of the ideas and requirements that shaped the protocol work. Working Group Summary This document is an output from the MPLS working group and we have good support for it. Document Quality The document is well reviewed. Personnel Loa Andersson (loa@pi.nu) is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian.farrel@huawei.com) is the Responsible AD. RFC Editor Note Please add one paragraph to the end of the Abstarct NEW This work was overtaken by the protocol solution developed by the MPLS working group, and that solution did not closely follow the requirements documented here. This document is published as a historic record of the ideas and requirements that shaped the protocol work. END ---- Please replace the first paragraph of Section 1 OLD This document lists a set of functional requirements that served as input to the design of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) extensions for setting up point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSP)[I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp], in order to deliver point-to- multipoint applications over a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure. It is published with Historic status with the perspective of documenting the work done. NEW This document lists a set of functional requirements that served as input to the design of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) extensions for setting up point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSP)[I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp], in order to deliver point-to- multipoint applications over a Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure. This work was overtaken by the protocol solution developed by the MPLS working group and documented in [I-D.ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp]. That solution did not closely follow the requirements documented here and it was recognized that this document had served its purpose in driving discussions of how the solution should be designed. At this point, no further action is planned to update this document in line with the protocol solution, and this document is published simply as a historic record of the ideas and requirements that shaped the protocol work. END --- Section 1.2 OLD The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT", "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in [RFC2119]. NEW This document is a historic requirements document. For the benefit of clarity of statement of requirements, keywords are used as follows.
