The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MPLS Forwarding Compliance and Performance Requirements' (draft-ietf-mpls-forwarding-09.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Stewart Bryant. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-forwarding/ Technical Summary This document provides guidelines for implementers regarding MPLS forwarding and a basis for evaluations of forwarding implementations. Guidelines cover many aspects of MPLS forwarding. Topics are highlighted where implementers might otherwise overlook practical requirements which are unstated or under emphasized or are optional for conformance to RFCs but are often considered mandatory by providers. Working Group Summary This document has been discussed by the working group both on the mailing list and at a long slot at the working meeting in Vancouver. The working group is behind this document, there has been no mayor controversies and very good discussions. Document Quality The question about implementations is a bit tricky - there are no implementations based on the document, as there were existing implementations when the document was started up. Instead it is the other way around, the document discusses implementation and deployment experiences. All the scenarios discussed in the document have been implemented and/or deployed. The document is Informational and no MIB Doctor, Media type or other other types of expert reviews have been necessary. Personnel Loa Andersson, is the document Shepherd. Adrian Farrel is the Responsible AD
