A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) RSVP-TE Signalling in
                          support of Automatically Switched Optical
                          Network (ASON)

This document specifies how Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) RSVP-TE 
   signaling may be used and extended to satisfy the requirements of the 
   Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) architecture specified 
   by the ITU-T. The requirements are in a companion document 
   "Requirements for Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Usage and Extensions for 
   Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON)." 

   In particular, this document details the mechanisms for setting up 
   Soft Permanent Connections (SPC), the necessary extensions in 
   delivering full and logical call/connection separation support, the 
   extended restart capabilities during control plane failures, extended 
   label usage and crankback signalling capability. 
    
   The mechanisms proposed in this document are applicable to any 
   environment (including multi-area) and for any type of interface: 
   packet, layer-2, time-division multiplexed, lambda or fiber 
   switching.

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.
