The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Label Distribution Protocol Extensions for Point-to-Multipoint and Multipoint-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths' (draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-p2mp-15.txt) as a Proposed Standard 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-ldp-p2mp/ Technical Summary This document specifies extensions to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) for the setup of point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to- multipoint (MP2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSPs) in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. LDP with these extensions is also referred to as Multipoint LDP (mLDP). Runing mLDP will result in establishing P2MP or MP2MP LSPs without interacting with or relying upon any other multicast tree construction protocol. Protocol elements and procedures for this solution are described for building such LSPs in a receiver-initiated manner. There can be several applications for P2MP/MP2MP LSPs, but these are outside the scope of this document. Working Group Summary The document has been reviewed by the MPLS working group. There is no controversy and consensus seems good. Document Quality All major MPLS vendors have either already implements or have indicated intention to implement. Personnel Loa Andersson (loa@li.nu) is the Document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the Responsible AD RFC Editor Note Section 1.1 Please add the following new paragraph to the end of the section. All new fields shown as "reserved" in this document MUST be set to zero on transmission and MUST be ignored on receipt. --- Section 1.2 Add to the list. FEC: Forwarding Equivalence Class --- Section 1.2 (CRC entry) s/V.42/V.42 [ITU.V42.1994]/ --- NEW 1.3. Manageability MPLS LSRs can be modeled and managed using the MIB module defined in [RFC3813]. That MIB module is fully capable of handling the one-to- many in-segment to out-segment relationships needed to support P2MP LSPs, and no further changes are required. [RFC3815] defines managed objects for LDP. The MIB module allows the modeling and management of LDP and LDP speakers for the protocol as defined in [RFC5036]. The protocol extensions defined in this document to support P2MP in LDP may require an additional MIB module or extensions to the modules defined in [RFC3815]. This is for future study, and at the time of writing no interest had been expressed in this work. Future manageability work should pay attention to the protocol extensions defined in this document, and specifically the configurable and variable elements, along with reoprting the new protocol fields that identify individual P2MP LSPs.
