A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

	Title		: Crankback Signaling Extensions for MPLS Signaling
	Author(s)	: A. Farrel, A. Iwata et al.

Recently, several routing protocol extensions for
advertising resource information in addition to topology
information have been proposed for use in distributed
constraint-based routing.  In such a distributed routing
environment, however, the information used to compute a
constraint-based path may be out of date.  This means
that LSP setup requests may be blocked by links or nodes
without sufficient resources.
This draft specifies crankback routing extensions for use
in Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS) signaling using
RSVP-TE as defined in 'RSVP-TE: Extensions to RSVP for
LSP Tunnels', RFC3209, so that the LSP setup request can
be retried on an alternate path that detours around the
blocked link or node upon a setup failure.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
