A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Fault Tolerance for LDP and CR-LDP Author(s) : A. Farrel, P. Brittain Filename : draft-farrel-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt Pages : 28 Date : 16-Feb-00 MPLS systems will be used in core networks where system downtime must be kept to an absolute minimum. Many MPLS LSRs may, therefore, exploit Fault Tolerant (FT) hardware or software to provide high-availability of the core networks. The details of how FT is achieved for the various components of an FT LSR, including LDP, CR-LDP, the switching hardware and TCP, are implementation specific. This document identifies issues in the CR-LDP specification [2] and the LDP specification [4] that make it difficult to implement an FT LSR using the current LDP and CR-LDP protocols, and proposes enhancements to the LDP specification to ease such FT LSR implementations. The extensions described here are equally applicable to CR-LDP. A URL for this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-farrel-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then "get draft-farrel-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt". A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail. Send a message to: mailserv@ietf.org. In the body type: "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-farrel-mpls-ldp-ft-00.txt". 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. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
