The IESG has received a request from the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling WG (teas) to consider the following document: - 'RSVP-TE Signaling Procedure for End-to-End GMPLS Restoration and Resource Sharing' <draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-resource-sharing-proc-06.txt> as Informational RFC The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2017-01-17. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract In non-packet transport networks, there are requirements where Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) end-to-end recovery scheme needs to employ restoration Label Switched Path (LSP) while keeping resources for the working and/or protecting LSPs reserved in the network after the failure occurs. This document reviews how the LSP association is to be provided using Resource Reservation Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling in the context of GMPLS end-to-end recovery scheme when using restoration LSP where failed LSP is not torn down. In addition, this document discusses resource sharing-based setup and teardown of LSPs as well as LSP reversion procedures. No new signaling extensions are defined by this document, and it is strictly informative in nature. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-resource-sharing-proc/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-resource-sharing-proc/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
