The IESG has received a request from the Common Control and Measurement Plane WG (ccamp) to consider the following document: - 'Ethernet Traffic Parameters with Availability Information' <draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-bandwidth-availability-13.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 2019-01-31. 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 A packet switching network may contain links with variable bandwidth, e.g., copper, radio, etc. The bandwidth of such links is sensitive to external environment (e.g., climate). Availability is typically used for describing these links when during network planning. This document introduces an optional Availability TLV in Resource ReSerVation Protocol - Traffic Engineer (RSVP-TE) signaling. This extension can be used to set up a Generalized Multi- Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Label Switched Path (LSP) using the Ethernet SENDER_TSPEC object. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-bandwidth-availability/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-ccamp-rsvp-te-bandwidth-availability/ballot/ The following IPR Declarations may be related to this I-D: https://datatracker.ietf.org/ipr/2414/
