In a transport network scenario, Data Plane connections controlled by
either a Generalized Multiprotocol Label Switching (GMPLS) Control
Plane (Soft Permanent Connections - SPC) or a Management System
(Permanent Connections - PC) may independently coexist. The ability
of transforming an existing PC into an SPC and vice versa -- without
actually affecting Data Plane traffic being carried over it -- is a
requirement. The requirements for the conversion between permanent
connections and switched connections in a GMPLS Network are defined
in RFC 5493.
This memo describes an extension to GMPLS Resource Reservation
Protocol - Traffic Engineering (RSVP-TE) signaling that enables the
transfer of connection ownership between the Management and the
Control Planes. Such a transfer is referred to as a Handover. This
document defines all Handover-related procedures. This includes the
handling of failure conditions and subsequent reversion to original
state. A basic premise of the extension is that the Handover
procedures must never impact an already established Data Plane
connection. [STANDARDS TRACK]
This document is a product of the Common Control and Measurement Plane 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
