MPLS Standards

The JUNOS software supports the following Requests for Comments (RFCs) and Internet drafts related to MPLS:

• RFC 3031, Multiprotocol Label Switching Architecture, provides a good overview of MPLS.
• RFC 3032, MPLS Label Stack Encoding
• Internet draft, draft-ietf-mpls-icmp-version.txt, ICMP Extensions for Multiprotocol Label Switching
• Internet draft draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-ping-version.txt, Detecting MPLS Data Plane Failures (only the LDP IPv4 prefix TLV, RSVP IPv4 Session Query TLV, and VPN IPv4 prefix TLV)
