The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Requirements for Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Routing for Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) ' <draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-ason-routing-reqts-05.txt> as an Informational RFC This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Alex Zinin and Bill Fenner. Technical Summary The Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) suite of protocols has been defined to control different switching technologies as well as different applications. These include support for requesting Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) connections including Synchronous Optical Network (SONET)/Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) and Optical Transport Networks (OTNs). This document concentrates on the routing requirements on the GMPLS suite of protocols to support the capabilities and functionalities for an Automatically Switched Optical Network (ASON) as defined by ITU-T. Working Group Summary This document is the product of a design team that included IETF and ITU members. The goal of the document was to represent routing-related requirements for ASON networks received from ITU in a liaison statement in the form understandable for a usual IETF participant. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed for IESG by Alex Zinin. Adrian Farrel followed up with the WG on the provided comments. IANA Note This document required no specific IANA action. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
