A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : MPLS Deployments and Use Cases That Cannot be Solved By Using 20-bit Label Author : Katherine Zhao Filename : draft-lzl-mpls-ucase-n-20bit-label-limitation-00.txt Pages : 10 Date : 2014-06-25 Abstract: The MPLS label format and encoding method are specified in [RFC3032], the label value is represented using the 20-bit space and supports up to 1 million of instances. As exponential Internet growth continues there are specific network deployment scenarios where a clear need to represent more than one million entities is required. This document describes the MPLS deployment scenarios, use cases, and requirements, where the current 20-bit label will no longer be sufficient.
