Some MPLS labels have been allocated for specific purposes. A block
of labels (0-15) has been set aside to this end; these labels are commonly
called "reserved labels". They will be called "special-purpose
labels" in this document.
As there are only 16 of these special-purpose labels, caution is
needed in the allocation of new special-purpose labels; yet, at the
same time, forward progress should be allowed when one is called for.
This memo defines new procedures for the allocation and
retirement of special-purpose labels, as well as a method to extend
the special-purpose label space and a description of how to handle
extended special-purpose labels in the data plane.
Finally, this memo renames the IANA registry for special-purpose
labels to "Special-Purpose MPLS Label Values" and
creates a new registry called the "Extended Special-Purpose MPLS
Label Values" registry.
This document updates a number of previous RFCs that use the term
"reserved label". Specifically, this document updates RFCs 3032,
3038, 3209, 3811, 4182, 4928, 5331, 5586, 5921, 5960, 6391, 6478,
and 6790.
This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track
protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet
Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and
status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
