A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6001 Title: Generalized MPLS (GMPLS) Protocol Extensions for Multi-Layer and Multi-Region Networks (MLN/MRN) Author: D. Papadimitriou, M. Vigoureux, K. Shiomoto, D. Brungard, JL. Le Roux Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: October 2010 Mailbox: dimitri.papadimitriou@alcatel-lucent.com, martin.vigoureux@alcatel-lucent.fr, shiomoto.kohei@lab.ntt.co.jp, dbrungard@att.com, jean-louis.leroux@rd.francetelecom.com Pages: 24 Characters: 52501 Updates: RFC4202, RFC4203, RFC4206, RFC4874, RFC4974, RFC5307 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-ccamp-gmpls-mln-extensions-12.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6001.txt There are specific requirements for the support of networks comprising Label Switching Routers (LSRs) participating in different data plane switching layers controlled by a single Generalized Multi-Protocol Label Switching (GMPLS) control plane instance, referred to as GMPLS Multi-Layer Networks / Multi-Region Networks (MLN/MRN). This document defines extensions to GMPLS routing and signaling protocols so as to support the operation of GMPLS Multi-Layer / Multi-Region Networks. It covers the elements of a single GMPLS control plane instance controlling multiple Label Switched Path (LSP) regions or layers within a single Traffic Engineering (TE) domain. [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 status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
