The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG
(mpls) to consider the following document: - 'MPLS Network Action (MNA)
Sub-Stack Solution'
  <draft-ietf-mpls-mna-hdr-17.txt> as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-call@ietf.org mailing lists by 2025-12-16. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   This document defines the MPLS Network Actions (MNA) sub-stack
   solution for carrying Network Actions and Ancillary Data in the MPLS
   label stack.  MNA can be used to influence packet forwarding
   decisions, carry additional Operations, Administration, and
   Maintenance information in the MPLS packet or perform user-defined
   operations.  The solution specified in this document addresses the
   requirements for In-stack network action and In-stack data found in
   RFC 9613.  This document follows the architectural framework for the
   MNA technologies specified in RFC 9789.
