  2. Simple protocol for one-way advertisement of application-specific data • Fundamental use-case: a link-layer-agnostic equivalent to Ethernet’s Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP) for MPLS networks • Gives network operators an easy way to see basic information about adjacent nodes, and verify the network topology • Bootstrap capability: next-hop Ethernet address determination, MCC/SCC setup, … • Can be used to advertise device capabilities and configuration parameters, alerting the operator of mismatches: link-layer settings, MTU, OAM, … G-ACh Advertisement Protocol

  3. Do operators find this functionality useful? • Does the WG want to pursue this work? Questions 82
