A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 7140 Title: LDP Extensions for Hub and Spoke Multipoint Label Switched Path Author: L. Jin, F. Jounay, IJ. Wijnands, N. Leymann Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: March 2014 Mailbox: lizho.jin@gmail.com, frederic.jounay@orange.ch, ice@cisco.com, n.leymann@telekom.de Pages: 15 Characters: 33570 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-mldp-hsmp-06.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc7140.txt This document introduces a hub and spoke multipoint (HSMP) Label Switched Path (LSP), which allows traffic from root to leaf through point-to-multipoint (P2MP) LSPs and also leaf to root along the reverse path. That means traffic entering the HSMP LSP from the application/customer at the root node travels downstream to each leaf node, exactly as if it were traveling downstream along a P2MP LSP to each leaf node. Upstream traffic entering the HSMP LSP at any leaf node travels upstream along the tree to the root, as if it were unicast to the root. Direct communication among the leaf nodes is not allowed. This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
