Abstract

   Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a method for forwarding
   packets that uses short, fixed-length values carried by packets,
   called labels, to determine packet nexthops [RFC3031]).  A
   fundamental concept in MPLS is that two Label Switching Routers
   (LSRs) must agree on the meaning of the labels used to forward
   traffic between and through them.  This common understanding is
   achieved by using a set of procedures, called a label distribution
   protocol, by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has
   made.  One such protocol called LDP [RFC3036] is used by LSRs to
   distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed
   paths.  This document reports on a survey of LDP implementations
   conducted in August 2002 as part of the process of advancing LDP from
   proposed to draft standard.

1. Introduction

   This document reports on a survey of LDP implementations conducted in
   August 2002 as part of the process of advancing LDP from proposed to
   draft standard.

   This section highlights some of the survey results.  Section 2
   presents the survey results for LDP features, and Appendix A presents
   the survey results in full.  Appendix B contains a copy of the survey
   form.


1.1. The LDP Survey Form

   The LDP implementation survey requested the following information
   about LDP implementation:

   - Responding organization.  Provisions were made to accommondate
     organizations that wished to respond anonymously.

   - The status, availability and origin of the LDP implementation.

   - The LDP features implemented and for each whether it was tested
     against an independent implementation.  The survey form listed each
     LDP feature defined by RFC3036 and requested one of the following
     as the status of the feature:

        t: Tested against another independent implementation;
        y: Implemented but not tested against independent
           implementation;
        n: Not implemented;
        x: Not applicable to this type of implementation;

     In addition for the 'n' status the responder could optionally
     provide the following additional information:

        s: RFC specification inadequate, unclear, or confusing;
        u: Utility of feature unclear;
        r: Feature not required for feature set implemented;

   This document uses the following conventions for reporting survey
   results for a feature:

     At By Cn indicates:

     - A responders implemented the feature and tested it against
       another independent implementation (t);
     - B responders implemented the feature but have not tested it

Internet Draft   draft-ietf-mpls-ldp-survey2002-00.txt      October 2005


       against an independent implmented (y);
     - C responders did not implement the the feature (n);

     (Ds Eu Fr) indicates optional responses:

     - D responders thought the RFC3036 specification of the feature
       inadequate, unclear, or confusing (s).
     - E responders thought the utility of the feature unclear (u).
     - F responders considered the feature not required for the feature
       set implemented (combines x and r).


1.2. LDP Survey Highlights

   This section presents some highlights from the implementatation
   survey.

     - There were 12 responses to the survey, 2 of which were anonymous.
       At the time of the survey 10 of the implementation were available
       as products and 2 were in beta test.  Eleven of the
       implementations were available for sale; the remaining
       implementation had been done by a company no longer in business.

     - Seven implementations were independently written from the RFC3036
       specification.  Four implementations combined purchased or free
       code with code written by the responder.

       One of the implementations was fully purchased code ported to the
       vendor's platform.

     - Every LDP feature in the survey questionnaire was implemented by
       at least 2 respondents.

     - Each of the 8 LDP Label Distribution Modes implemented and
       tested;

Appendix B. LDP Implementation Survey Form

   LDP Implementation Survey Form [V 1.0]

   The purpose of this form is to gather information about
   implementations of LDP as defined by RFC3036.  The information is
   being requested as part of the process of advancing LDP from Proposed
   to Draft Standard.

   The form is patterned after the implementation report form used for
   HTTP/1.1; see:

     http://www.ietf.org/IESG/Implementations/http1.1-implementations.txt

       '-'   not applicable to this type of implementation

     Optional: For 'n' status, indicate reason for not implementing using
               one of the following:

               's'  RFC specification inadequate, unclear, or confusing
               'u'  utility of feature unclear
               'r'  feature not required for feature set implemented
