RFC 5918: Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) 'Typed Wildcard' Forward Equivalence Class (FEC)

Still current, but amended. Parts of this document are changed or extended by RFC 7358. Read both.

In plain English — editorial summary, not part of the RFC

The Label Distribution Protocol (LDP) specification for the Wildcard Forward Equivalence Class (FEC) element has several limitations. This document addresses those limitations by defining a Typed Wildcard FEC Element and associated procedures. In addition, it defines a new LDP capability to address backward compatibility.
