The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Multipoint LDP in-band signaling for Point-to-Multipoint and Multipoint- to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths' <draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-in-band-signaling-07.txt> as Proposed Standard The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2012-11-09. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract Consider an IP multicast tree, constructed by Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM), needs to pass through an MPLS domain in which Multipoint LDP (mLDP) Point-to-Multipoint and/or Multipoint-to- Multipoint Labels Switched Paths (LSPs) can be created. The part of the IP multicast tree that traverses the MPLS domain can be instantiated as a multipoint LSP. When a PIM Join message is received at the border of the MPLS domain, information from that message is encoded into mLDP messages. When the mLDP messages reach the border of the next IP domain, the encoded information is used to generate PIM messages that can be sent through the IP domain. The result is an IP multicast tree consisting of a set of IP multicast sub-trees that are spliced together with a multipoint LSP. This document describes procedures how IP multicast trees are spliced together with multipoint LSPs. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-in-band-signaling/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-in-band-signaling/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. However, an IPR declaration against draft-wijnands-mpls-mldp-in-band-signaling that this I-D replaced can be seen at: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/1305/
