An overview of Multi Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) is provided in
[FRAMEWORK] and a proposed architecture in [ARCH]. A fundamental
concept in MPLS is that two Label Switching Routers (LSRs) must agree
on the meaning of the labels used to forward traffic between and
through them. This common understanding is achieved by using a set
of procedures, called a label distribution protocol, by which one LSR
informs another of label bindings it has made. This document defines
a set of such procedures called LDP (for Label Distribution
Protocol).

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
