The Link Management Protocol (LMP) is defined to manage traffic
engineering (TE) links.  In its present form, LMP focuses on peer
nodes, i.e., nodes that peer in signaling and/or routing.  This
document proposes extensions to LMP to allow it to be used between
a peer node and an adjacent optical line system (OLS).  These
extensions are intended to satisfy the "Optical Link Interface
Requirements" described in a companion document.

This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane
Working Group of the IETF.

This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol.

This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for
the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions
for improvements.  Please refer to the current edition of the
"Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the
standardization state and status of this protocol.  Distribution
of this memo is unlimited.

This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list.
Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list
should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG.  Requests to be
added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should
be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
