The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Controlling State Advertisements Of Non-negotiated LDP Applications' <draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-ip-pw-capability-07.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 2014-05-12. 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 There is no capability negotiation done for Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) applications that setup Label Switched Paths (LSPs) for IP prefixes or that signal Point-to-point (P2P) Pseudowires (PWs) for Layer 2 Virtual Private Networks (L2VPNs). When an LDP session comes up, an LDP speaker may unnecessarily advertise its local state for such LDP applications even when the peer session is established for some other applications like Multipoint LDP (mLDP) or Inter-Chassis Communication Protocol (ICCP). This document defines a solution by which an LDP speaker announces to its peer its disinterest in such non-negotiated applications, thus disabling the unnecessary advertisement of corresponding application state, which would have otherwise be advertised over the established LDP session. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-ip-pw-capability/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-ip-pw-capability/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
