The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS Forwarding Compliance and Performance Requirements' <draft-ietf-mpls-forwarding-06.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2014-02-12. 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 This document provides guidelines for implementers regarding MPLS forwarding and a basis for evaluations of forwarding implementations. Guidelines cover many aspects of MPLS forwarding. Topics are highlighted where implementers might otherwise overlook practical requirements which are unstated or under emphasized or are optional for conformance to RFCs but are often considered mandatory by providers. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-forwarding/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-forwarding/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
