Subject: MPLS Traceroute

Folks,

Several months ago, the IESG chose not to progress, draft-ietf-mpls-icmp.
Instead, they commissioned a design team that is addressing the generic
problem of route tracing through tunnels.

Although I understand that the IESGs decision is binding, I am resubmitting
the draft and requesting that it be published as an informational RFC, with
a caveat that it is not an emerging standard. This appropriate because at
least three vendors have implemented the ICMP extensions and two have been
shipping code that includes these extensions for about six months.

The extensions should be documented because their deployment is fairly wide.
