LDP Extensions for RMR
draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-rmr-extensions-00
Abstract
This document describes LDP extensions to signal Resilient MPLS Ring
(RMR) Label Switched Paths (LSPs). An RMR LSP is a multipoint to
point LSP signaled using LDP (Label Distribution Protocol). RMR
Architecture document - draft-ietf-mpls-rmr-02 - describes why and
how MPLS should be used in ring topologies.

1 Introduction
This document describes LDP extensions to signal resilient MPLS ring
(RMR) label switched paths (LSPs). An RMR LSP is a multipoint to
point LSP signaled using LDP (Label Distribution Protocol).
Architecture document of RMR - draft-ietf-mpls-rmr-02 - describes why
and how MPLS should be used in ring topologies.
The ring is either auto-discovered or configured using IGP protocol
such as OSPF or ISIS. IGP extensions for RMR is described in a
companion documents. After the ring discovery, each ring node acting
