Requirements for Point-to-Multipoint Extensions
to the Label Distribution Protocol
Abstract
This document lists a set of functional requirements that served as
input to the design of Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) extensions
for setting up point-to-multipoint (P2MP) Label Switched Paths (LSP),
in order to deliver point-to-multipoint applications over a
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) infrastructure.
This work was overtaken by the protocol solution developed by the
MPLS working group, but that solution did not closely follow the
requirements documented here. This document is published as a
historic record of the ideas and requirements that shaped the
protocol work.
