Technical Summary
The label advertising behavior of an LDP speaker for a given 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, as well as updates RFC 3212, RFC 4447, RFC
5918, RFC 6388, and RFC 7140 by specifying the label advertisement
mode for all currently defined LDP FEC types.
Working Group Summary
There is a strong support for this document in the working group
and it has been has been well reviewed.
After AD review, the document was sent back to the WG for a
substantial rewrite. A subsequent last call in the WG established
support for the new revision.
The document also got cleaned up during discussions with IANA
in IETF last call (and that uncovered some bugs in the registry
which was a whole lot of fun!).
Document Quality
The document describes what is effectively deployed implementation
behaviour. Any disagreements with this would have resulted in loud
shouts during WG last call. Any divergence from this presumably led
to embarrassed silence during which code was frantically fixed.
Personnel
Loa Andersson (loa@pi.nu) is the document shepherd.
Adrian Farrel (Adrian@olddog.co.uk) is the responsible AD.
