A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories. Title : Requirements for support of Inter-Area and Inter-AS MPLS Traffic Engineering Author(s) : J. Boyle Filename : draft-boyle-tewg-interarea-reqts-00.txt Pages : 9 Date : 2003-6-24 Traffic engineering using MPLS within a single IGP area has become quite prevalent in networks today. This gives a network operator several advantages, including better traffic measurement capabilities, faster restoration times, and of course the ability to better manage congestion points within their network. However, the current uses have been limited to one IGP area. OSPF based networks usually do traffic engineering only in their backbone area, and many ISIS networks still operate at a single level. It would be useful to be able to extend these capabilities across hierarchical areas within a single IGP, as well as to be able to extend across AS boundaries if it is so-found to be useful and possible. This document first breaks down some of the current applications of MPLS TE, and then it addresses how these might be used (or precluded) across IGP areas or AS boundaries.

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-boyle-tewg-interarea-reqts-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-boyle-tewg-interarea-reqts-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.
