Traffic Engineered (TE) Label Switched Path (LSP).
Working Group Summary
This document moved from the MPLS WG to TEAS WG as part of the
routing WG changes. The document was adopted by the MPLS WG in
March 2014 and it has gone through several iterations since then.
There was a virtual interim meeting held in January 2016 to help
get things moving for the draft. There were also some issues
(including a serious backwards compatibility issue) found by the
Shepherd after the WG Last Call. An informal 1-week Last Call was
needed after these issues got addressed.
Document Quality
The base MPLS RSVP protocol has been implemented. The extensions
defined in this document are compatible with earlier implementations.
While there have been no public statements on implementation, the
authors are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected.
