Title: Source Routed MPLS LSP using Domain Wide Label

One advantage that MPLS provides is that it allows traffic to be directed
through an explicit path that deviates from IP routing. Such ability is
widely used in traffic-engineering and fast-reroute. Currently signaling
protocols such as RSVP is needed to establish and maintain such an explicit
Label Switched Path. When there are a large number of such signaled LSPs in
the network, the aggregated signaling and maintenance overhead can be
significant. In this paper, we propose a way to establish a source routed
explicit path with zero signaling overhead. The scheme uses a stack of
labels and requires domain wide LDP FEC to label bindings.
