Title: Graceful Restart Mechanism for BGP with MPLS
State: Pending
Authors: Yakov Rekhter, Rahul Aggarwal

A mechanism for BGP that would help minimize the negative effects on
routing caused by BGP restart is described in 'Graceful Restart Mechanism
for BGP' (see [1]). This document extends this mechanism to also minimize
the negative effects on MPLS forwarding caused by the Label Switching
Router's (LSR's) control plane restart, and specifically by the restart of
its BGP component when BGP is used to carry MPLS labels and the LSR is
capable of preserving the MPLS forwarding state across the restart. The
mechanism described in this document is agnostic with respect to the types
of the addresses carried in the BGP Network Layer Reachability Information
(NLRI) field. As such it works in conjunction with any of the address
famililies that could be carried in BGP (e.g., IPv4, IPv6, etc...)
