Abstract

   This document describes the applicability of Multiprotocol Label
   Switching (MPLS) to traffic engineering in IP networks.  Special
   considerations for deployment of MPLS for traffic engineering in
   operational contexts are discussed and the limitations of the MPLS
   approach to traffic engineering are highlighted.
