Title : GMPLS control of Ethernet
Author(s) : D. Fedyk, et al.
Filename : draft-fedyk-gmpls-ethernet-pbt-01.txt

Carrier Grade Ethernet transport solutions require the capability of
flexible service provisioning and fast protection switching.
Currently, Ethernet is being extended in IEEE to meet the scalability
needs of transport networks.
The IETF specified GMPLS to control transport networks. To enable
integration of Ethernet based transport solutions the extension of
GMPLS control plane for Ethernet is of value.
This memo describes how a GMPLS control plane may be applied to
Provider Backbone Transport (PBT) and how GMPLS can be used to
configure VLAN-aware Ethernet switches in order to establish Ethernet
P2P and P2MP MAC switched paths and P2P/P2MP VID based trees. This
document assumes any standard changes to IEEE data planes will be
undertaken only in the IEEE.

In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-fedyk-gmpls-ethernet-pbt-01.txt".
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
Internet-Draft.
