The label advertising behavior of an LDP speaker for a given
Forwarding Equivalence Class (FEC) is governed by the FEC type
and not necessarily by the LDP session's negotiated label
advertisement mode.  This document updates RFC 5036 to make that
fact clear.  It also updates RFCs 3212, 4447, 5918, 6388, and
7140 by specifying the label advertisement mode for all currently
defined LDP FEC types.

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 Official
Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the 
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution of this
