The IESG has received a request from the chairs of the Multiprotocol Label Switching (mpls) Working Group to consider publishing the internet draft draft-andersson-mpls-sig-decision-01.txt as an Informational RFC. Starting with a discussion in the working group session in Yokohama, the mpls working group has been exploring options for ongoing IETF work on signaling protocols for traffic engineering with MPLS. The MPLS working group chairs believe they understand the consensus of the MPLS community and have documented that consensus in this Internet draft. Based on this consensus, they have asked for publication of the ID as an Informational RFC to document the decision to focus the efforts on a signaling protocol for traffic engineering applications on "RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for LSP Tunnels" (RFC3209). A consequence of this decision is to discontinue new efforts on "Constraint-Based LSP Setup using LDP" (RFC3212). The IESG requested this Last Call to verify that the document does indeed represent the consensus of the IETF community. The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits comments. Please send any comments to the iesg@ietf.org or ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2002-10-21.
