RFC 826
read in first page
[The purpose of this RFC is to present a method of Converting
Protocol Addresses (e.g., IP addresses) to Local Network
Addresses (e.g., Ethernet addresses). This is a issue of general
concern in the ARPA Internet community at this time. The
method proposed here is presented for your consideration and
comment. This is not the specification of a Internet Standard.]

This document specifies an architectural framework for the
application of Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) to the
construction of packet-switched transport networks. It describes a
common set of protocol functions -- the MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-
TP) -- that supports the operational models and capabilities typical
of such networks, including signaled or explicitly provisioned
bidirectional connection-oriented paths, protection and restoration
mechanisms, comprehensive Operations, Administration, and Maintenance
(OAM) functions, and network operation in the absence of a dynamic
control plane or IP forwarding support.
