Technical Summary
This draft describes an extension to the DLEP protocol to provide a
credit-windowing scheme for destination-specific flow control.
Working Group Summary
This credit extension was originally specified as an optional feature
in the base DLEP specification. After an extensive RGtDir review the
base DLEP specification was sent back to the WG. The WG decided that
it would clean up the specification if credit windowing was was documented
in it's own extension draft; The goal being two fold, stressing that the
feature was optional and outlining how future extension drafts to DLEP may
be written.
There is strong support within the working group on moving this document forward.
Document Quality
With familiarity of DLEP the specification is easy to read and straightforward.
There is broad support within industry and the many existing DLEP implementations
are expected to support this extension once standardized as there is demand on the
customer side.
