IETF RFC 7032
LDP Downstream-on-Demand in Seamless MPLS
Organization: | IETF |
Publication Date: | 1 October 2013 |

scope:
Seamless MPLS design enables a single IP/MPLS network to scale
over core, metro, and access parts of a large packet network
infrastructure using standardized IP/MPLS protocols. One of the key
goals of Seamless MPLS is to meet requirements specific to access
networks including high number of devices, device position in
network topology, and compute and memory constraints that limit the
amount of state access devices can hold. This can be achieved with
LDP Downstream-on-Demand
In addition, a new optional TLV type in the LDP Label Request message is defined for fast-up convergence.
