Title : Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) architecture's
extensions for Optical Burst Switch network
Author(s) : K. Long, et al.
Filename : draft-long-gmpls-obs-00.txt
Pages : 15
Date : 2005-11-30
The Generalized MPLS[RFC 3031] suite of protocols has been defined to
control different switching technologies, such as TDM, Optical
Circuit Switching, and even Optical Fibre Switching. However, Optical
Burst Switching(OBS)[Qiao] is a promising optical switching
technology, which is expected to be deployed in optical network in
the very near future. Therefore, this document focuses mainly on how
to extend the architecture of Generalized MPLS (GMPLS)[RFC 3945] to
support Optical Burst Switching. Herein, the extensions consist in
the following issues, i.e., signaling, routing and link management.
What more, the extended GMPLS architecture will be much more scalable
than before. Note that the extensions are not limited a certain OBS
signaling type, such as Just-In-Time or Just-Enough-Time, Wavelength-
Routed OBS or traditional OBS.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
