Re: Proposed liaison to SG15 on RFC 4139

[Dimitri.Papadimitriou@alcatel.be]

hi adrian -

 

i think worth considering this action  

note: do you think this liaison should also include an informational statement concerning the subsequent actions in terms of signaling protocol work ?

 

thanks,

- dimitri.

Subject: Proposed liaison to SG15 on RFC 4139

Hi,

I propose to send this liaison to Study Group 15 of the ITU-T.

Comments please.

Thanks,
Adrian

To: ITU-T Study Group 15
From: IETF CCAMP Working Group
Subject: New Request for Comment Published
For: Information

The CCAMP Working Group of the IETF wishes to inform Study Group 15 of the
ITU-T of the publication of a new Request for Comment.

RFC 4139 "Requirements for Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Signaling Usage and
Extensions for Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON)" is available
from the RFC Editor's repository at
ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc4139.txt

The Abstract of this RFC reads as follows.

The Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) suite of
protocols has been defined to control different switching
technologies and different applications.  These include support
for requesting Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) connections, including
Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy
(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 signaling protocol to support the capabilities of an
Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON).  This document provides
a problem statement and additional requirements for the GMPLS
signaling protocol to support the ASON functionality.

The CCAMP Working Group would like to thank the members and Questions of
Study Group 15 for the helpful input and review feedback that they provided
while this document was being developed.
