The IESG has no problem with the publication of 'SONET/SDH Circuit Emulation Service over MPLS (CEM) Encapsulation' <draft-malis-sonet-ces-mpls-09.txt> as a Historic. The IESG would also like the RFC-Editor to review the comments in the datatracker (https://datatracker.ietf.org/public/pidtracker.cgi?command=view_id&dTag=5608&rfc_flag=0) related to this document and determine whether or not they merit incorporation into the document. Comments may exist in both the ballot and the comment log. The IESG contact person is Mark Townsley. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-malis-sonet-ces-mpls-09.txt The process for such documents is described at http://www.rfc-editor.org/indsubs.html. Thank you, The IESG Secretary Technical Summary This document describes a historical method for encapsulating SONET/SDH Path signals for transport across packet-switched networks (PSNs). The PSNs explicitly supported by this document include MPLS and IP. Note that [RFC4842] describes the standards-track protocol for this functionality, and new implementations must use [RFC4842] rather than this document except when interoperability with older implementations is desired. Working Group Summary This documents contains work that was the basis of part of the PWE3 WG's efforts, resulting in the publication of RFC4842 as a standards track document. The document was specifically held from publication in any form until which time the PWE3 WG had finished its work in this area. Deployed implementations of this earlier work exist, though it is well understood the output of the PWE3 WG represents IETF Consensus and supersedes these mechansims. This document is now being published for the record as Historic to underscore that it documents work that has been obsoleted by PWE3 Standards Track work. Protocol Quality This specification was reviewed for the IESG by Mark Townsley. It has been reported that there are deployed implementations of this, though there is commitment to move to standards track work in due course. IESG Note: 2. The IESG thinks that this work is related to IETF work done in WG PWE3, but this does not prevent publishing.
