Abstract

The MPLS Network Action (MNA) framework provides a general mechanism for the encoding and processing of network actions and their data. This document introduces a network action to the MPLS Network Action (MNA) framework for stack management operations including MOVE-N-LSE and POP-N-LSE. The MOVE-N-LSE operation elevates a specified number of LSEs within the stack and the POP-N-LSE operation removes a specified number of LSEs. The stack management operations can be used to facilitate various applications. As an example, a mechanism called HBH preservation which reduces the readable label depth (RLD) requirement in nodes is presented.
