Paul: I actually read the same thing, but it is a long ways away before it is a standard. As of right now there are certain venders using the exp 3 bits, but like I said in experimental purposes only. I believe marconi uses the exp 3 bits in the L-lsp frame header. -----Original Message----- From: Jin, Paul (BTNA) [mailto:Paul.Jin@btna.com] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 2:46 PM To: 'Victoria Fineberg'; mpls-ops@mplsrc.com Subject: RE: [MPLS-OPS]: extending the EXP bit? Hi Vicotria, Does this mean that frame mode MPLS support for L-LSP is available? or will be near future? My understanding was that L-LSP was how cell mode MPLS was done, but people are working on getting this done for the frame mode side.. thanks in advance, Paul -----Original Message----- From: Victoria Fineberg [mailto:fineberg@illinoisalumni.org] Sent: Thursday, November 07, 2002 2:18 PM To: Jin, Paul (BTNA); mpls-ops@mplsrc.com Subject: Re: [MPLS-OPS]: extending the EXP bit? Paul, RFC3270 "MPLS Support of Differentiated Services" by Le Faucheur and others defines how to map DSCPs into the LSPs. Specifically, with L-LSPs, the 3-bit EXP field represents only the packet's drop precedence, and the 20-bit label is used to convey the FEC and the scheduling treatment.

Hi, Is there any support currently available by any vendor to handle 6 bits of Diff-Serv on MPLS frame mode header, instead of the normal 3 bits? Or close to making it happen? thanks, Paul <http://www.btignite.com/uk/> ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml ------- The MPLS-OPS Mailing List Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.mplsrc.com/mplsops.shtml Archive: http://www.mplsrc.com/mpls-ops_archive.shtml |
