The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'LDP Downstream-on-Demand in Seamless MPLS' <draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-dod-08.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 2013-05-27. 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 Seamless MPLS design enables a single IP/MPLS network to scale over core, metro and access parts of a large packet network infrastructure using standardized IP/MPLS protocols. One of the key goals of Seamless MPLS is to meet requirements specific to access, including high number of devices, their position in network topology and their compute and memory constraints that limit the amount of state access devices can hold.This can be achieved with LDP Downstream-on-Demand (LDP DoD) label advertisement. This document describes LDP DoD use cases and lists required LDP DoD procedures in the context of Seamless MPLS design. In addition, a new optional TLV type in the LDP Label Request message is defined for fast-up convergence. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-dod/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-dod/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
