Abstract
This document presents a set of requirements for the establishmentand maintenance of Point-to-Multipoint (P2MP) Traffic-Engineered (TE)Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) Label Switched Paths (LSPs).
There is no intent to specify solution-specific details orapplication-specific requirements in this document.
The requirements presented in this document not only apply to packet-switched networks under the control of MPLS protocols, but alsoencompass the requirements of Layer Two Switching (L2SC), TimeDivision Multiplexing (TDM), lambda, and port switching networksmanaged by Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocols. Protocol solutionsdeveloped to meet the requirements set out in this document mustattempt to be equally applicable to MPLS and GMPLS. This memo provides information for the Internet community.
