The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Protocol Extensions for Multi-Layer and Multi-Region Networks (MLN/MRN) ' <draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-mln-extensions-12.txt> as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane 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-ccamp-gmpls-mln-extensions-12.txt Technical Summary This document extends GMPLS routing and signaling to support the operation of GMPLS Multi-Layer/Multi-Region Networks. A network comprised of multiple switching types (e.g. PSC and TDM) controlled by a single GMPLS control plane instance is called a Multi-Region Network (MRN). A network comprising transport nodes participating in different data plane switching layers controlled by a single GMPLS control plane instance is called a Multi-Layer Network (MLN). This document defines GMPLS RSVP, OSPF and IS-IS to cover GMPLS MLN/MRN requirements. Working Group Summary This document received much attention and discussion in its early revisions. The document has been largely stable for quite some time, mainly needing revisions as part of the publication process. Document Quality There have been no public statements related to intent to implement, but portions of the extensions are now being used as part of the GMPLS tool set and are (at least) expected to implemented in those contexts.
