[e2e] Admission Control and Policing in MPLS

[Phelan, Tom]

Hi Fahad,

There is a recently published implementation agreement from the MPLS Forum (an industry consortium advancing MPLS) that deals with admission control for MPLS networks.  MPLS Proxy Admission Control is defined in the Forum's 6.0.0 (provisioning and operational aspects) and 7.0.0 (protocol) IAs.  They're available at http://www.mplsforum.org/tech/mpls-proxy-admission-control-definition-ia.pdf and http://www.mplsforum.org/tech/mpls-proxy-admission-control-protocol-ia.pdf.
