The IESG has approved the following document: - 'MPLS-TP Network Management Framework ' <draft-ietf-mpls-tp-nm-framework-05.txt> as an Informational RFC 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-nm-framework-05.txt Technical Summary The document provides the network management framework for the Transport Profile of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS-TP). It relies on the management terminology from the ITU-T and describes a NM architecture for the Transport Profile of MPLS. Such management could be based on multi-tiered distributed management systems. Thes document provides network and element management architectures that could be applied. Working Group Summary The document is part of the MPLS-TP project, the cooperation between IETF and ITU-T to specify an MPLS transport profile. There are no outstanding issues. It is put on the standards track to resolve issues around how the ITU-T references IETF documents. Document Quality The document is a framework document and will mainly be used as input to the network management solutions specifications that will be published shortly.
