Technical Summary
A number of enhancements to the Label Distribution Protocol (LDP)
have been proposed. Some have been implemented, and some are
advancing toward standardization. It is likely that additional
enhancements will be proposed in the future. At present, LDP has
no mechanism for advertising such enhancements at LDP session
initialization time. There is also no mechanism to enable and
disable enhancements after the session is established. This
document defines a mechanism for advertising LDP enhancements at
session initialization time, as well as a mechanism to enable and
disable enhancements after LDP session establishment.
