Abstract:
Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) has defined a mechanism to load
balance traffic flows using Entropy Labels (EL). An ingress Label
Switching Router (LSR) cannot insert ELs for packets going into a
given tunnel unless an egress LSR has indicated via signaling that it
has the capability of processing ELs, referred to as Entropy Label
Capability (ELC), on that tunnel. In addition, it would be useful
for ingress LSRs to know each LSR's capability of reading the maximum
label stack depth, referred to as Readable Label-stack Depth (RLD),
in the cases where stacked LSPs are used for whatever reasons. This
document defines mechanisms to signal these two capabilities using
OSPF. These mechanisms are useful when the label advertisement is
also done via IS-IS.
