Technical Summary
This document provides guidelines for implementers regarding MPLS
forwarding and a basis for evaluations of forwarding implementations.

highlighted where implementers might otherwise overlook practical
requirements which are unstated or under emphasized or are optional
for conformance to RFCs but are often considered mandatory by
providers.

implementations based on the document, as there were existing
implementations when the document was started up. Instead it is the
other way around, the document discusses implementation and
deployment experiences. All the scenarios discussed in the document
have been implemented and/or deployed.
The document is Informational and no MIB Doctor, Media type or other
other types of expert reviews have been necessary.
