Network Working Group B. Thomas Request for Comments: 5038 Cisco Systems, Inc. Category: Informational L. Andersson Acreo AB October 2007 The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) Implementation Survey Results Status of This Memo This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. Abstract Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS), described in RFC 3031, is a method for forwarding packets that uses short, fixed-length values carried by packets, called labels, to determine packet next hops. 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 (as described in RFC 3036) , by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has made. One such protocol, called LDP, is used by LSRs to distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed paths. This document reports on a survey of LDP implementations conducted in August 2002 as part of the process of advancing LDP from Proposed to Draft Standard. Table of Contents 1.

RFC 5038 LDP Implementation Survey Results October 2007 1. Introduction Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) is a method for forwarding packets that uses short fixed-length values carried by packets, called labels, to determine packet next hops [RFC3031]. A fundamental MPLS concept 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 by which one LSR informs another of label bindings it has made. Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) specifies a set of procedures LSRs use to distribute labels to support MPLS forwarding along normally routed paths. LDP was specified originally by [RFC3036]. The current LDP specification is [RFC5036], which obsoletes [RFC3036]. [RFC3037] describes the applicability of LDP. This document reports on a survey of LDP implementations conducted in August 2002 as part of the process of advancing LDP from Proposed to Draft standard. This section highlights some of the survey results. Section 2 presents the survey results for LDP features, and Appendix A presents the survey results in full. Appendix B contains a copy of the survey form. 1.1. The LDP Survey Form The LDP implementation survey requested the following information about LDP implementation: - Responding organization. Provisions were made to accommodate organizations that wished to respond anonymously. - The status, availability, and origin of the LDP implementation. - The LDP features implemented and for each whether it was tested against an independent implementation. The survey form listed each LDP feature defined by [RFC3036] and requested one of the following as the status of the feature: t: Tested against another independent implementation y: Implemented but not tested against independent implementation n: Not implemented x: Not applicable to this type of implementation Thomas & Andersson Informational [Page 2]
RFC 5038 LDP Implementation Survey Results October 2007 In addition, for the 'n' status, the responder could optionally provide the following additional information: s: RFC specification inadequate, unclear, or confusing u: Utility of feature unclear r: Feature not required for feature set implemented This document uses the following conventions for reporting survey results for a feature: At By Cn indicates: - A responders implemented the feature and tested it against another independent implementation (t) - B responders implemented the feature but have not tested it against an independent implemented (y) - C responders did not implement the feature (n) (Ds Eu Fr) indicates optional responses: - D responders thought the RFC 3036 specification of the feature inadequate, unclear, or confusing (s). - E responders thought the utility of the feature unclear (u). - F responders considered the feature not required for the feature set implemented (combines x and r). 1.2. LDP Survey Highlights This section presents some highlights from the implementation survey. - There were 12 responses to the survey, 2 of which were anonymous. At the time of the survey, 10 of the implementation were available as products and 2 were in beta test. Eleven of the implementations were available for sale; the remaining implementation had been done by a company no longer in business. - Seven implementations were independently written from the RFC 3036 specification. Four implementations combined purchased or free code with code written by the responder. One of the implementations was fully purchased code ported to the vendor's platform. - Every LDP feature in the survey questionnaire was implemented by at least 2 respondents.
