Title : GMPLS control of Ethernet
Author(s) : D. Fedyk, et al.

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 the
Provider Backbone Bridges Traffic Engineering (PBB-TE 802.1Qay)
amendment to 802.1Q 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:

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.
