The Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Working Group decision on MPLS signaling protocols
Loa Andersson, George Swallow · 2003
This document documents the consensus reached by the Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Working Group within the IETF to focus its efforts on Resource Reservation Protocol (RSVP)-TE: Extensions to RSVP for Label-Switched Paths (LSP) Tunnels (RFC 3209) as the MPLS signalling protocol for traffic engineering applications and to undertake no new efforts relating to Constraint-Based LSP Setup using Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) (RFC 3212). The recommendations of section 6 have been accepted by the IESG.
