The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'GMPLS OSPF-TE Extensions in support of Flexi-grid DWDM networks' <draft-ietf-ccamp-flexible-grid-ospf-ext-07.txt> as Proposed Standard 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 2017-01-31. 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 The International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T) has extended its Recommendations G.694.1 and G.872 to include a new Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) grid by defining a set of nominal central frequencies, channel spacings, and the concept of the "frequency slot". Corresponding techniques for data-plane connections are know as flexi-grid. Based on the characteristics of flexi-grid defined in G.694.1, RFC 7698 and 7699, this document describes the OSPF-TE extensions in support of GMPLS control of networks that include devices that use the new flexible optical grid. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-flexible-grid-ospf-ext/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-flexible-grid-ospf-ext/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
