MPLS-TE Graceful Shutdown is a method for explicitly notifying
the nodes in a Traffic Engineering (TE) enabled network that the
TE capability on a link or on an entire Label Switching Router
(LSR) is going to be disabled. MPLS-TE graceful shutdown
mechanisms are tailored toward addressing planned outage in the
network.
This document provides requirements and protocol mechanisms to
reduce or eliminate traffic disruption in the event of a planned
shutdown of a network resource. These operations are equally
applicable to both MPLS-TE and its Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)
extensions. This document is not an Internet Standards Track
specification; it is published for informational purposes.
This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working
Group of the IETF.
