Hi all,

Thanks to those of you who have already submitted opinions.

The last call has been a little quiet so far, so this is a reminder to read the document and express your opinions.

Thanks,
Adrian

Subject: WG Last Call: draft-ietf-mpls-mna-ps-hdr-06 (Ends 2026-02-13)

Hi working group,

Now that all of the IPR poll responses have been received (https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/mpls/5ISGADSRJtf50bcep6CBq5rgE98/) this message starts a two week WG Last Call for:
draft-ietf-mpls-mna-ps-hdr-06

This Working Group Last Call ends on 2026-02-13 as 12 noon GMT.

Abstract:
   This document defines the Post-Stack MPLS Network Action (MNA)
   solution for carrying Network Actions and Ancillary Data after the
   MPLS label stack, based on the In-Stack MNA solution defined in "MPLS
   Network Action (MNA) Sub-Stack Solution."  MPLS Network Actions can
   be used to influence packet forwarding decisions, carry additional
   Operations, Administration, and Maintenance information in the MPLS
   packet, or perform user-defined operations.  This solution document
   addresses the Post-Stack network action and Post-Stack data-specific
   requirements found in RFC 9613.  This document follows the framework
   specified in RFC 9789.

The file can be retrieved from: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-mna-ps-hdr/

I know that the document has been around for a while and several of you have given helpful and detailed reviews, but it would be really beneficial to the WG if you could all please review and indicate your support or objection to proceed with the publication of this document by replying to this email keeping mpls@ietf.org
in copy. Objections should be explained and suggestions to resolve them are highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Adrian
