Re: GMPLS for MS-SPRing

[Greg Bernstein <gregb@grotto-networking.com>]

George, I believe that the LSPs discussed are indeed General LSPs, i.e., 
SDH VC-4, or MPLS LSP.
Note that I'm all for lots of topology info about the rings via routing 
protocols. 
I'd like to see what links are involved with what rings, so if there is 
a ring switch on a particular ring  we can see where we stand as far as 
what traffic maybe currently more vulnerable (e.g. if we get multiple 
faults on the same ring). One could also then see what the current ring 
"covering" on your network looks like.

However, this draft is starting with basic requirements.  Whether GMPLS 
can ever help us get around the lack of interoperability of MS-SPRing 
from multiple vendors may be a bit much to take on...
