Request for comments on a new ID on Administrative Control of RSVP Hello and Graceful Restart Procedure

["zafar ali" <zali@cisco.com>]

Title: Message

Dear MPLS-ers:

 

We have submitted a new ID on Administrative Control of RSVP Hello and Graceful Restart Procedure for discussion in CCAMP WG at the upcoming IETF meeting in Seoul. Abstract of the ID is as follows:

 

Abstract

 

Ability to administratively shutdown RSVP Hellos and Graceful Restart (GR) procedure without impacting the traffic is a desirable network operation. Furthermore, there are applications that run RSVP Hellos with intervals on the order of milliseconds. This poses a requirement to reduce the number of RSVP messages to a minimal required count. Fortunately RSVP Hellos are not mandatory and are only required to run when needed. This allows applications to remove an RSVP Hello session, when it is not needed. This ID proposes a procedure to remove RSVP Hello and/ or GR sessions for administrative or optimization purposes.

 

We have uploaded a copy of it at,

Your comments and input on usefulness and applicability will be much appreciated.

 

Thanks

 

Regards... Zafar
