A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. Title : The Use of Entropy Labels in MPLS Forwarding Author(s) : Kireeti Kompella John Drake Shane Amante Wim Henderickx Lucy Yong Filename : draft-ietf-mpls-entropy-label-05.txt Pages : 23 Date : 2012-08-17 Abstract: Load balancing is a powerful tool for engineering traffic across a network. This memo suggests ways of improving load balancing across MPLS networks using the concept of "entropy labels". It defines the concept, describes why entropy labels are useful, enumerates properties of entropy labels that allow maximal benefit, and shows how they can be signaled and used for various applications. This document updates RFCs 3031, 3107, 3209 and 5036.
