Introduction 1.1 Objectives of document This document documents the MPLS Working group consensus to continue to develop RFC 3209 [RFC 3209] as the signalling protocol for MPLS signaling for Traffic Engineering applications. This document also documents the MPLS working group consensus to not undertake any new work related to RFC 3212 [RFC 3212], e.g., there are no plans to progress RFC 3212 beyond proposed standard. No other actions are taken relative the document status of RFC 3212 [RFC 3212] or RFCs that specify extensions to RFC 3212. Section 6 summarizes the consensus of the MPLS working group on this issue. This consensus has been accepted by the IESG. All other sections are documentation of the consensus process. 1.2 Nomenclature This document uses the term "CR-LDP related working group drafts" to refer to a group of Internet Drafts that specify changes or extensions to [RFC 3212] and the term "CR-LDP related RFCs" to discuss the group of RFCs that specify the protocol and the applicability of [RFC 3212].
