This document specifies the protocol extensions for support of
Diffserv-aware MPLS Traffic Engineering (DS-TE).  This
includes generalization of the semantics of a number of Interior
Gateway Protocol (IGP) extensions already defined for existing MPLS
Traffic Engineering in RFC 3630, RFC 3784, and additional IGP
extensions beyond those.  This also includes extensions to RSVP-TE
signaling beyond those already specified in RFC 3209 for existing MPLS
Traffic Engineering.  These extensions address the requirements for
DS-TE spelled out in RFC 3564.
