A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Forwarding and Control Element Separation Working Group of the IETF.
Title : ForCES Protocol Specification
Author(s) : L. Dong, et al.
Filename : draft-ietf-forces-protocol-13.txt
Pages : 125
Date : 2007-12-04
This document specifies the Forwarding and Control Element Separation
(ForCES) protocol. ForCES protocol is used for communications
between Control Elements(CEs) and Forwarding Elements (FEs) in a
ForCES Network Element (ForCES NE). This specification is intended
to meet the ForCES protocol requirements defined in RFC3654. Besides
the ForCES protocol messages, the specification also defines the
framework, the mechanisms, and the Transport Mapping Layer (TML)
requirements for ForCES protocol.Authors
The participants in the ForCES Protocol Team, primary co-authors and
co-editors, of this protocol specification, are:
Ligang Dong (Zhejiang Gongshang University), Avri Doria (Lulea
University of Technology), Ram Gopal (Nokia), Robert Haas (IBM),
Jamal Hadi Salim (Znyx), Hormuzd M Khosravi (Intel), and Weiming Wang
(Zhejiang Gongshang University). Special acknowledgement goes to
Joel Halpern whose has done extensive editing in support of
congruence between the model and this protocol specification.
Without his participation and persistence, this specification might
never have been completed.

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.
