A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 4394 Title: A Transport Network View of the Link Management Protocol (LMP) Author: D. Fedyk, O. Aboul-Magd, D. Brungard, J. Lang, D. Papadimitriou Status: Informational Date: February 2006 Mailbox: dwfedyk@nortel.com, osama@nortel.com, dbrungard@att.com, jplang@ieee.org, dimitri.papadimitriou@alcatel.be Pages: 18 Characters: 40812 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-transport-lmp-02.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc4394.txt The Link Management Protocol (LMP) has been developed as part of the Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) protocol suite to manage Traffic Engineering (TE) resources and links. The GMPLS control plane (routing and signaling) uses TE links for establishing Label Switched Paths (LSPs). This memo describes the relationship of the LMP procedures to \'discovery\' as defined in the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T), and ongoing ITU-T work. This document provides an overview of LMP in the context of the ITU-T Automatically Switched Optical Networks (ASON) and transport network terminology and relates it to the ITU-T discovery work to promote a common understanding for progressing the work of IETF and ITU-T. This memo provides information for the Internet community. This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community. It does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of this memo is unlimited. This announcement is sent to the IETF list and the RFC-DIST list. Requests to be added to or deleted from the IETF distribution list should be sent to IETF-REQUEST@IETF.ORG. Requests to be added to or deleted from the RFC-DIST distribution list should be sent to RFC-DIST-REQUEST@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Details on obtaining RFCs via FTP or EMAIL may be obtained by sending an EMAIL message to rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG with the message body help: ways_to_get_rfcs. For example: To: rfc-info@RFC-EDITOR.ORG Subject: getting rfcs help: ways_to_get_rfcs Requests for special distribution should be addressed to either the author of the RFC in question, or to RFC-Manager@RFC-EDITOR.ORG. Unless specifically noted otherwise on the RFC itself, all RFCs are for unlimited distribution. Submissions for Requests for Comments should be sent to RFC-EDITOR@RFC-EDITOR.ORG.
