A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 5654 Title: Requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile Author: B. Niven-Jenkins, Ed., D. Brungard, Ed., M. Betts, Ed., N. Sprecher, S. Ueno Status: Standards Track Date: September 2009 Mailbox: benjamin.niven-jenkins@bt.com, dbrungard@att.com, malcolm.betts@huawei.com, nurit.sprecher@nsn.com, satoshi.ueno@ntt.com Pages: 31 Characters: 69999 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-mpls-tp-requirements-10.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc5654.txt This document specifies the requirements of an MPLS Transport Profile (MPLS-TP). This document is a product of a joint effort of the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) and IETF 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 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. [STANDARDS TRACK] This document is a product of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community,and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Internet Official Protocol Standards (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
