The IESG has approved the following document: - 'RSVP-TE Signaling Procedure for End-to-End GMPLS Restoration and Resource Sharing' (draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-resource-sharing-proc-08.txt) as Informational RFC This document is the product of the Traffic Engineering Architecture and Signaling Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alvaro Retana, Alia Atlas and Deborah Brungard. A URL of this Internet Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-resource-sharing-proc/ Technical Summary 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 the 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. Working Group Summary This document moved from the CCAMP WG to TEAS WG as part of the Routing Area WG changes. This document has been fairly noncontroversial. Document Quality The base GMPLS signaling protocol has been implemented. The procedures discussed in this document are compatible with earlier implementations. While there have been no public statements on implementation of these procedures, the authors are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected - or may even already exist.
