The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Extended Administrative Groups in MPLS-TE' (draft-ietf-mpls-extended-admin-group-07.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Alia Atlas. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-extended-admin-group/ Technical Summary 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. Working Group Summary There is a general agreement in the working group that this is needed. There have been comments during the discussion in the working group and the working last call, but all them contributing to improving the document.
