The Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) suite of protocol has been defined to
control different switching technologies as well as different
applications. These include support for requesting TDM connections
including SONET/SDH and Optical Transport Networks (OTNs).
This document concentrates on the signaling aspects of the GMPLS
suite of protocols. It identifies the features to be covered by the
GMPLS signalling protocol to support the capabilities of an
Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON). This document
provides a problem statement and additional requirements on the
GMPLS signaling protocol to support the ASON functionality.
