Abstract

In a particular network environment where MPLS-SPRING-enabled routers are partially deployed, it needs to transport MPLS traffic through an IP-based tunnel between two MPLS-SPRING-enabled routers so as to traverse non-MPLS routers. The ingress of the IP-based tunnel must know which encapsulation type is supported by the egress of that IP- based tunnel.This document describes how to advertise the encapsulation capability of MPLS-SPRING-enabled routers using IS-IS. Note that this encapsulation capablity advertisment could be applicalbe to other use cases besides that as mentioned above as well.
