The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS-TP Next-Hop Ethernet Addressing' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-ethernet-addressing-05.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 2013-02-18. 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 The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) is the set of MPLS protocol functions applicable to the construction and operation of packet-switched transport networks. This document presents considerations for link-layer addressing of Ethernet frames carrying MPLS-TP packets. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-ethernet-addressing/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-ethernet-addressing/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. This document contains a downward reference to RFC 2469 "A Caution On The Canonical Ordering Of Link-Layer Addresses".
