The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'MPLS Support of Differentiated Services' <draft-ietf-mpls-diff-ext-09.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Bert Wijnen and Scott Bradner. Technical Summary This document defines a mechanism for the support of Differentiated Services (diffserv) over Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) networks. This mechanism allows the MPLS network administrator to select how diffserv Behavior Aggregates (BAs) are mapped onto Label Switched Paths (LSPs) so that he/she can best match the diffserv, Traffic Engineering and protection objectives within his/her particular network. For instance, this solution allows the network administrator to decide whether different sets of BAs are to be mapped onto the same LSP or mapped onto separate LSPs. Working Group Summary There was working group consensus on this proposal and no issues were raised during IETF last-call. The last call was also noted on the difserv mailing list and no issues were raised there. Protocol Quality This proposal was reviewed for the IESG by Scott Bradner. Note to RFC Editor: Please change the reference to Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) from RFC 2481 to RFC 3168.
