The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'RSVP-TE Extensions for Associated Bidirectional LSPs' <draft-ietf-teas-mpls-tp-rsvpte-ext-associated-lsp-01.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 2015-02-23. 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 This document describes Resource reSerVation Protocol (RSVP) extensions to bind two point-to-point unidirectional Label Switched Paths (LSPs) into an associated bidirectional LSP. The association is achieved by defining new Association Types for use in ASSOCIATION and in Extended ASSOCIATION Objects. One of these types enables independent provisioning of the associated bidirectional LSPs on both sides, while the other enables single sided provisioning. The REVERSE_LSP Object is also defined to enable a single endpoint to specify all the parameters of an associated LSP in the single sided provisioning case. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-mpls-tp-rsvpte-ext-associated-lsp/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-mpls-tp-rsvpte-ext-associated-lsp/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: http://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2139/
