RE: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-overlay-00.txt

[Charles Chen <cchen@mahinetworks.com>]

Is there any similar proposal of GMPLS routing support for the overlay
model?
There are a couple of issues that may need to be addressed. One is related
to
how the core node attached to one or more edge node advertises the TE links 
between the edge core and the core node. In this case, for example, should
be the Link ID TLV
set to 0.0.0.0 or the same as the Router Address TLV, because there is no
peering router for
the TE link.  The second issue is how the core node identifies whether the
TE link configured, or discovered via LMP, is attached to an edge node. In
other words, does this need any support from LMP?

To remove yourself from the IETF Announcement list, send a message to 
ietf-announce-request with the word unsubscribe in the body of the message.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-overlay-00.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-overlay-00.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
