The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Extended Administrative Groups in MPLS-TE' <draft-ietf-mpls-extended-admin-group-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 2014-05-06. 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 MPLS-TE advertises 32 administrative groups (commonly referred to as "colors" or "link colors") using the Administrative Group sub-TLV of the Link TLV. This is defined for OSPFv2 (RFC3630), OSPFv3 (RFC5329) and ISIS (RFC5305). This document adds a sub-TLV to the IGP TE extensions, "Extended Administrative Group". This sub-TLV provides for additional administrative groups (link colors) beyond the current limit of 32. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-extended-admin-group/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-extended-admin-group/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
