Subject: Protocol Action: Multi Protocol Label Switching Label 
	   Distribution Protocol Query Message Description to Proposed 
	   Standard
-------------


The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Multi Protocol Label
Switching Label Distribution Protocol Query Message Description'
<draft-ietf-mpls-lsp-query-06.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This
document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working
Group. The IESG contact persons are Alex Zinin and Bert Wijnen.
 
 
Technical Summary
 
      This document describes the encoding and procedures for three new
      Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) messages: Query Message, Query-
      Reply Message and Partial Query-Reply Message (the last one is almost
      identical to the Query-Reply message; therefore all references to the
      Query-Reply messages imply the Partial Query-Reply messages as well,
      unless otherwise specified). A Lable Edge Router (LER) sends a Query
      message when it needs to find out information about a Label Switched
      Path (LSP). The Query message is sent for an established LSP. The
      Query message can be used for LDP LSPs as well as for Constraint-
      Based Label Switched Paths (CR-LSPs). The queried data is encoded
      into the Query-Reply messages.

Working Group Summary
 
      The document has been reviewed by the WG participants. The WG
      supported advancement of the document.
 
Protocol Quality
 
      The specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Scott Bradner
      and Alex Zinin.
