General switch management protocol (GSMP) is an open interface
between a label switch and a controller, and it provides connection,
configuration, event, performance management and synchronization. The
managed objects of RFC 3295 are only defined to configure, monitor
and maintain the protocol entity. Traditionally, network management
services are classified into five categories: those are configuration,
performance, fault, accounting, and security management. These
services are provided by the network management functions, which can
be located either in the controller or in the label switch. In the
GSMP interface, there are no managed objects for the network
management services and the location of network management functions
is not clearly defined. We discussed the complexity of switch
implementation and the efficiency of resource usage according to the
location of network management functions.

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.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
