The IESG has received a request from the Multiprotocol Label Switching WG (mpls) to consider the following document: - 'Updates to MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) Linear Protection in Automatic Protection Switching (APS) Mode' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-aps-updates-03.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 2017-05-19. 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 This document contains updates to MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) linear protection in Automatic Protection Switching (APS) mode defined in RFC 7271. The updates provide rules related to the initialization of the Protection State Coordination (PSC) Control Logic, in which the state machine resides, when operating in APS mode, and clarify some operation related to state transition table lookup. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-aps-updates/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-aps-updates/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
