Abstract:
   In RFC 8957 the concept of MPLS synonymos flow labels (SFL) was
   introduced.  This document describes a simple control protocol that
   runs over an associated control header to request, withdraw, and
   extend the lifetime of such labels.  It is not the only control
   protocol that might be used to support SFL, but it has the benefit of
   being able to be used without modifying of the existing MPLS control
   protocols.  The existence of this design is not intended to restrict
   the ability to enhance an existing MPLS control protocol to add a
   similar capability.

   A Querier MUST wait a configured time (suggested wait of 60 seconds)
   before re-attempting a Withdraw request.  No more than three Withdraw
   requests SHOULD be made.  These restrictions are to prevent
   overloading the control plane of the actioning router.
