A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF.


	Title           : Using mLDP through a Backbone where there is no Route to the Root

The control protocol used for constructing Point-to-Multipoint and
Multipoint-to-Multipoint Label Switched Paths ("MP LSPs") contains a
field that identifies the address of a "root node".  Intermediate
nodes are expected to be able to look up that address in their
routing tables.  However, if the route to the root node is a BGP
route, and the intermediate nodes are part of a BGP-free core, this
is not possible.  This document specifies procedures which enable a
MP LSP to be constructed through a BGP-free core.  In these
procedures, the root node address is temporarily replaced by an
address which is known to the intermediate nodes.
