Application-Aware Targeted LDP
Abstract
Recent Targeted Label Distribution Protocol (tLDP) applications, such
as remote Loop-Free Alternates (LFAs) and BGP auto-discovered
pseudowires, may automatically establish a tLDP session with any
Label Switching Router (LSR) in a network. The initiating LSR has
information about the targeted applications to administratively
control initiation of the session. However, the responding LSR has
no such information to control acceptance of this session. This
document defines a mechanism to advertise and negotiate the Targeted
Application Capability (TAC) during LDP session initialization. As
the responding LSR becomes aware of targeted applications, it may
establish a limited number of tLDP sessions for certain applications.
In addition, each targeted application is mapped to LDP Forwarding
Equivalence Class (FEC) elements to advertise only necessary LDP FEC
label bindings over the session. This document updates RFC 7473 for
enabling advertisement of LDP FEC label bindings over the session.
