The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Using LDP Multipoint Extensions on Targeted LDP Sessions' <draft-ietf-mpls-targeted-mldp-03.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 2013-09-03. 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 As specified in RFC 6388, Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) can be used to set up Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) and Multipoint-to- Multipoint (MP2MP) Label Switched Paths. However, RFC 6388 presupposes that the two endpoints of an LDP session are directly connected. The LDP base specification (RFC 5036) allows for the case where the two endpoints of an LDP session are not directly connected; such a session is known as a "Targeted LDP" session. This document provides the specification for using the LDP P2MP/MP2MP extensions over a Targeted LDP session. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-targeted-mldp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-targeted-mldp/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
