Abstract:

   The MPLS forwarding layer in a core network is a shared resource.
   The MPLS FIB at nodes in this layer contains labels that are
   dynamically allocated and locally significant at that node.  These
   labels are scoped in context of the global loopback address.  Let us
   call this the global MPLS namespace.

   For some usecases like upstream label allocation, it is useful to
   create private MPLS namespaces (virtual MPLS FIB) over this shared
   MPLS forwarding layer.  This allows installing deterministic label
   values in the private FIBs created at nodes participating in the
   private MPLS namespace, while preserving the "locally significant"
   nature of the underlying shared global MPLS FIB.

   This document defines new address families (AFI: 16399, SAFI: 128, or
   1) and associated signaling mechanisms to create and use MPLS
   forwarding contexts in a network.  Some example use cases are also
   described.
