The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MPLS-TP Requirements ' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-requirements-10.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Adrian Farrel and Ross Callon. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-mpls-tp-requirements-10.txt Technical Summary This document specifies the requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP). This document is a product of a joint International Telecommunications Union (ITU)-IETF effort to include an MPLS Transport Profile within the IETF MPLS and PWE3 architectures to support the capabilities and functionalities of a packet transport network as defined by International Telecommunications Union - Telecommunications Standardization Sector (ITU-T). This work is based on two sources of requirements; MPLS and PWE3 architectures as defined by IETF, and packet transport networks as defined by the ITU-T. The requirements expressed in this document are for the behavior of the protocol mechanisms and procedures that constitute building blocks out of which the MPLS transport profile is constructed. The requirements are not implementation requirements. Working Group Summary No controversies, but lots of discussion that has converged on this document. Document Quality This is a requirements document, implementations will follow when we have the protocol specifications. Note that this document is a requirement document, for reasons that have to do with referencibility by ITU-T we have opted to put it on the standards track. The same decision applies to all MPLS-TP requirement documents. Personnel Loa Andersson (loa@pi.nu) is the document shepherd. Adrian Farrel (adrian.farrel@huawei.com) is the responsible AD. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
