Using the explicit route object proposed for use in RSVP {[}1{]} and the ability to bind MPLS labels to RSVP flows {[}2{]} we describe how explicit routes may be set up in an MPLS environment. The resulting label switched paths may have associated resource reservations, or may be purely best effort.}, }
