Fw: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-ccamp-sdhsonet-control-04.txt

["Adrian Farrel" <adrian@olddog.co.uk>]

Hi Alex,

With some help from Eric Gray, the authors have completed the updates to this draft to
resolve the issues that you raised as a result of your review and the review by the
Routing Directorate. I have looked through the changes and can confirm that they have
caught all of the points raised.

Could you please take this draft to the IESG now.

Thanks,
Adrian

> GMPLS consists of a suite of protocol extensions to MPLS to make
>    these protocols more generally applicable, to include - for example
>    - control of non-packet based switching, and particularly, optical
>    switching.  One area of prime consideration is to use Generalized
>    MPLS (GMPLS) protocols in upgrading the control plane of optical
>    transport networks.  This document illustrates this process by
>    describing those extensions to GMPLS protocols that are directed
>    towards controlling SDH/SONET networks.  SDH/SONET networks make
>    very good examples of this process since they possess a rich
>    multiplex structure, a variety of protection/restoration options,
>    are well defined, and are widely deployed. The document discusses
>    extensions to GMPLS routing protocols to disseminate information
>    needed in transport path computation and network operations,
>    together with the extensions to GMPLS label distribution protocols
>    needed for the provisioning of transport circuits. New capabilities
>    that an GMPLS control plane would bring to SDH/SONET networks, such
>    as new restoration methods and multi-layer circuit establishment,
>    are also discussed.
