	Title		: Generalized Labels for G.694 Lambda-Switching Capable Label Switching Routers

Technology in the optical domain is constantly evolving and as a 
   consequence new equipment providing lambda switching capability has 
   been developed and is currently being deployed. However, RFC 3471 has 
   defined that a wavelength label (section 3.2.1.1) "only has 
   significance between two neighbors" and global wavelength continuity 
   is not considered. In order to achieve interoperability in a network 
   composed of next generation lambda switch-capable equipment, this 
   document defines a standard lambda label format, being compliant with 
   ITU-T G.694. Moreover some consideration on how to ensure lambda 
   continuity with RSVP-TE is provided. This document is a companion to 
   the Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) signaling. It 
   defines the label format when Lambda Switching is requested in an all 
   optical network.
