The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generalized Interface Switching Capability Descriptor - Switching Capability Specific Information' (draft-ietf-teas-gmpls-scsi-04.txt) as Proposed Standard 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-scsi/ Technical Summary This document defines a generic information structure for information carried in routing protocol Interface Switching Capability Descriptor (ISCD) Switching Capability Specific Information (SCSI) fields. This "Generalized SCSI" can be used with routing protocols that define GMPLS ISCDs, and any specific technology. This document does not modify an existing technology specific formats and is defined for use in conjunction with new GMPLS Switching Capability types. Working Group Summary This document was put together to address comments that were raised during Gen-ART review for draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension. This document has been fairly noncontroversial. Document Quality The base (G)MPLS routing protocols have been implemented. The generic protocol format discussed in this document is compatible with earlier implementations. The first document that would be using the format defined in this document is draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension. While there have been no public statements on implementation, the authors of draft-ietf-ccamp-ospf-availability-extension are from multiple vendors, and implementation is expected.
