	Title		: Multiprotocol Label Switching Pre-emption
	Author(s)	: A. Farrel
	Filename	: draft-farrel-mpls-preemption-00.txt
	Pages		: 9

Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) signaling is documented in
'RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels', RFC 3209, using
mechanisms inherited from 'Resource ReserVation Protocol --
Version 1 Functional Specification', RFC 2205.

MPLS includes the concept of pre-emption where, for administrative
reasons such as contention for system resources, a new Label Switched
Path (LSP) may displace an existing LSP.

This document clarifies the procedures for MPLS pre-emption in the
light of implementation experience. The procedures in this document
update those described in RFC 2205 and RFC 3209, but apply only to
RSVP-TE used in the MPLS context.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
